This handbook provides an empirically well-founded, strongly comparative overview and reference source for selected broad topics in Germanic syntax, adopting a comparative perspective that systematically combines detailed empirical investigation with theoretical synthesis across the Germanic languages. The volume brings together 26 chapters by leading international scholars and addresses six central domains of Germanic syntax: the nominal domain, the prepositional domain, anaphoric elements and binding, scrambling and object shift, verb second, and syntactic peripheries. Within each domain, comprehensive empirical surveys of individual Germanic languages are complemented by overarching comparative chapters that synthesize the empirical findings and situate them within current theoretical research.The handbook is designed both as a reference work and as a resource for future research. Its distinctive structure enables readers to access up-to-date descriptions of key syntactic phenomena while also engaging with broader comparative and theoretical questions. By combining extensive empirical coverage, comparative analysis, and theoretical reflection, this volume offers a unique contribution to the field and an indispensable resource for scholars and students of Germanic linguistics, syntax, and comparative language research.
