This book presents an account of object shift, a word order phenomenon found in most of the Scandinavian languages where an object occurs unexpectedly to the left and not to the right of a sentential adverbial. With new and original observations, it is an important addition to the fields of phonology, optimality theory and theoretical syntax.

He researches Germanic comparative syntax, with a particular interest in how and why word order varies between languages.

Eva Engels is Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Aesthetics and Communication at Aarhus University, Denmark.

Her research focuses on the comparative syntax of the Germanic languages and on how Optimality Theory applies to syntax.
