Abstract

In this article I discuss examples of multiple constituents before the finite verb in German. I provide an analysis that uses an empty verbal head that takes the elements before the finite verb as arguments or adjuncts. The empty verbal head that is used for the analysis of multiple frontings is identical to the empty verbal head that is used to account for the analysis of verb first sentences (verb movement). The analysis uses techniques that were developed independently for the analysis of Incomplete Category Fronting.
