"text": "The aim of this article is to describe the word order of German verbs and their complements. German word order is not free, but based on fairly simple rules, forming what is usually called topological model, which subdivides the sentence into a hierarchy of topological domains that are themselves composed of fields (Vorfeld, Mittelfeld, right bracket\u2026) (Drach, 1937; Bech, 1955) . We start from a syntactic dependency tree, i.e. an unordered tree whose nodes are labeled with the words of the sentence, and whose branches are labeled with syntactic relations among the words (subject, direct object\u2026).",

It permits us to choose among all the different possible orders corresponding to a given dependency structure. In this paper we do not pursue this problem any further, but have limited our description to the link between dependency and topology. Note that it is fundamental to our approach that syntactic structure does not include word order.",

"text": "To get the words in order, we group them in a hierarchy of phrases. The nature and the position of these phrases are constrained by our topological model. For instance, a non-finite verb can open two kinds of topological phrases, either a phrase, which we call domain, with positions for all of its dependents, or a restricted phrase, which forms the verb cluster, with no positions for dependents other than predicative elements. These two kinds of phrases must be placed in very different topological positions. The fact that we pass through a (topological) phrase structure in order to relate dependency and word order distinguishes our approach from usual dependency grammars (Mel'cuk & Pertsov, 1987; Br\u00f6ker, 1998; Kahane et al., 1998; Duchier & Debusmann, 2001 ). The description of German word order closest to our analysis is the HPSG grammar of Kathol (1995; see also Reape 1994) , who proposes linearization rules exclusively based on a formalization of the topological structure. However, as required by the formalism he uses, a regular phrase structure, which we do not need in our analysis, still underlies the structures obtained.",

"text": "Our work constitutes a syntactic module which links (unordered) syntactic structures with topological phrase structures. Syntactic structures are related to semantic structures, whereas topological phrase structures are related to phonological structures. In other words, our work lies within the scope of the general framework of Meaning-Text-Theory (Mel'cuk 1988), which considers the modeling of a language as a modular (bi-directional) correspondence between meaning and text. It must be clear that, in contrast to X-bar syntax, our topological phrase structure does not represent the syntactic structure of the sentence. Although the dependency information is essential in its construction, the phrase structure only represents topology, i.e. the surface grouping of the words. Topological phrases can be directly related to prosodic groups, and topology represents an intermediate level between dependency and phonology. In Section 2, the results of our findings are presented, without recourse to any mathematical formalism, in the usual terminology of traditional German grammars. In Section 3, a mathematical formalism is proposed to state the rules and the grammar fragment described in Section 2.",

If a subsequent third verb joins the verb already in the right bracket, it will again open a phrase with a position to its left, and so on. The verbal constituent occupying the right bracket is called the verb cluster. \u2022 Some non-verbal dependents, such as separable verbal prefixes (for example the an of anfangen 'begin'), predicative adjectives, and nouns governed by a copular verb or a support verb, can go into the right bracket (the prefix even forms one word with its following governor). In contrast to verbs, these elements do not usually open up a new position for their dependents, which consequently have to be placed somewhere else. 3",

The other three phrases, niemand 'nobody', diesem Mann 'to this man', and das Buch 'the book', are on the same domain level; one of them has to take the Vorfeld, the other two will go into the Mittelfeld. We obtain thus 6 possible orders, among them (1a) and (1b). There are nevertheless some general restrictions on the relative constituent order in the Mittelfeld. We do not consider these rules here (see for instance Lennerz 1977 , Uszkoreit 1987 ), but we want to insist on the fact that the order of the constituents depends very little on their hierarchical position in the syntactic structure. 4 Even if the order is not free, there (i) Er f\u00e4ngt gleich zu schreien an.",

"text": "4 Dutch has the same basic topological structure, but has lost morphological case except on pronouns. For a simplified description of the order in the Dutch Mittelfeld, we have to attach to each complement placed in the Mittelfeld its height in the syntactic are restrictions that weigh more heavily than the hierarchical position: pronominalization, focus, new information, weight, etc. The fact that a verbal projection (i.e. the verb and all of its direct and indirect dependents) does not in general form a continuous phrase, unlike in English and French, is called scrambling (Ross, 1967) . This terminology is based on an erroneous conception of syntax that supposes that word order is always an immediate reflection of the syntactic hierarchy (i.e. every projection of a given element forms a phrase) and that any deviation from this constitutes a problem. In fact, it makes little sense to form a phrase for each verb and its dependents. On the contrary, all verbs placed in the same domain put their dependents in a common pot. In other words, there is no scrambling in German, or more precisely, there is no advantage in assuming an operation that derives 'scrambled' sentences from 'nonscrambled' ones. As we have said, when a verb is placed in one of the major fields, it opens an embedded domain. We represent domains by ovals with a bold outline. In the situation of Fig. 3 , where zu lesen 'to read' opens an embedded domain, hat 'has' and versprochen 'promised' occupy the left and right bracket of the main domain and we find three phrases on the same level: niemand 'nobody', diesem Mann 'to this man', and das Buch zu lesen 'to read the book'. The embedded domain can go into the Vorfeld (1c), the Nachfeld (1d), or the Mittelfeld (1a,e). Note that we obtain the word order (1a) a second time, giving us two phrase structures:",

For this reason, we attribute to the relative pronoun a double position: as a complementizer, it is the head of the relative clause and it therefore depends directly on the antecedent noun and it governs the main verb of the relative clause. As a pronoun, it takes its usual position in the relative clause. It is now possible to give the word order rules for relative clauses. The complementizing part of the relative pronoun opens an embedded domain consisting of the complementizer field (Kathol 1995), Mittelfeld, right bracket, and Nachfeld. The main verb that depends on it joins the right bracket. The other rules are identical to those for other domains, with the group containing the pronominal part of the relative pronoun having to join the other part of the pronoun in the complementizer field. In a sense, the complementizer field acts like the fusion of the Vorfeld and the left bracket of the main domain: The complementizing part of the pronoun, being the root of the dependency tree of the relative clause, takes the left bracket (just like the top node of the whole sentence in the main domain), while the pronominal part of the relative pronoun takes the Vorfeld. The fact that the pronoun is one word requires the fusion of the two parts and hence of the two fields into one. Note that verbal pied-piping is very easy to explain in this analysis: It is just an embedding of a verb in the complementizer field. Just like the Vorfeld, the complementizer field can be occupied by a non-verbal phrase or by a verb creating an embedded domain.",

However, German is an especially interesting case because surface order depends strongly on both the syntactic position (e.g. finite verb in V2 or Vfinal position) and the communicative structure (e.g. content of the Vorfeld). From a computational point of view, we are interested in the complexity of our formalism. It is possible to obtain a polynomial parser provided that we limit the number of nodes simultaneously involved in non-projective configurations (see Kahane et al. 1998 for similar techniques).
