| Publisher Description: Until now the concept of idiosyncrasy has been hardly associated with syntax or syntactic relations. The following contributions of Indo-European linguistics show that it must be examined if there are indeed idiosyncratic syntactic phenomena. Under a broad concept of idiosyncrasy, hyphens in old inscriptions, null anaphora, the syntax of objects, the hyperbaton, idiosyncratic dass-clauses and idiosyncrasies in information structure are treated. The data comes from Hittite, Old Indic, Greek, Latin, Venetic, Runic Norse, Welsh, Early New High German. Research questions are: Are idiosyncrasies in syntax actually irregularities or must they be explained by not stated rules? How do idiosyncrasies emerge historically? How are they being dealt with? |
