"Maling and Zaenen have managed in one volume to extract the salient features of Modern Icelanic syntax... This book is a comprehensive, ambitious compendium written mostly in a GB/EC framework, with a few essays devoted to an LFG model... The Maling-Zaenen book would be of definite value to the worker in Icelandic, of roughly comparative value to the Germanicist. Modern Icelandic Syntax is definitely advanced in scope and purpose." --LANGUAGE QUARTERLY
This comprehensive overview of Icelandic syntax contains new analyses of word order and long-distance reflexivization, detailed studies of case-marking, and the first systematic description of the -st middles. It presents a complete picture of modern Icelandic syntax as seen in the tradition of generative grammar, striking a good balance between theory and description.
