....adjuncts appear to be parallel to the complement case, a partial constituent apparently cannot only result from raising of arguments but also from raising of adjuncts. An alternative analysis for examples like (1) with a fronted partial VP and an adjunct in the Mittelfeld is proposed by M uller (1997). He analyzes this construction as an extraction of the head of a head adjunct structure. While for German there are good arguments for allowing some kind of displacement of a nite verbal head to account for verb second, it is much less clear whether movement of heads should be allowed in any ....

....in (2) We show that extending the notion of argument raising to a concept we will call dependent raising properly accounts for both kinds of partial constituent phenomena as well as their interaction. 2 See, in particular, Pollard (1996) Nerbonne (1994) Kathol (1995, sec. 7.7) S. M uller (1997), Meurers (1999a) and Bouma and van Noord (1998, sec. 3.4) 3 De Kuthy (2000) argues, however, that PPs such as those in (1c) should be analyzed as adjuncts, not complements.

....47 1. Introduction The topicalization of partial constituents in German has received much attention in the literature since the phenomenon is a serious challenge to the theory of constituency. In the HPSG paradigm, the attention has focussed on the topicalization of partial verb phrases. But G. M uller (1993, 1996) and others noted that partial constituent fronting in German also occurs with nominal and adjectival phrases. A simple example for each of the categories is shown in (1) 1) a.

....Kinder behind. As for the theoretical consequences drawn from such data, two ideas pursued in the principles and parameters paradigm are that (i) the constructions involve movement of a constituent containing a trace, so called remnant movement (Thiersch 1985, Webelhuth and den Besten 1987, G. M uller 1996) or that (ii) small constituents can be topicalized which are licensed with the help of special processes like reanalysis (Fanselow 1987, for partial NPs) Parallel to these two ideas, HPSG approaches to partial VP topicalization have proposed a remnant movement like analysis (Hinrichs and ....

....complements in the comps list. The second element may become the first one if the first one is extracted. The position in the comps list was employed by several authors to account for case phenomena. I have formulated an agreement principle that refers to the first position of the comps list (M uller, 1997a) While saturation by traces does not affect the position of elements in the comps list, extraction by a rule does. This problem will be solved in the present paper. 2 German V2 In almost all German HPSG Analyses, verb second (V2) sentences are analyzed by means of unbounded dependency ....
