Alemannic Verb Doubling Computationally (original) (raw)

Alemannic verb doubling is examined to understand its unique properties as a verbal multi-occurrence phenomenon occurring in unmarked expressions. The thesis proposes a computational model grounded in both Minimalist and lexical-functional grammar frameworks to analyze verb configurations, focusing on the syntactic and prosodic aspects of doubling. Key claims include that duplicated verbs occupy V0 positions and are pre-categorial roots, with implications for broader syntactic understanding across languages.
