Abstract

A framework for the description of syntactic structures of free word order languages is proposed, based on combination of intuitions underlying immediate constitutent description, dependency description and communicative dynamism. The combined approach is compared to its sources and shown superior in descriptive power, esp. in the area of free intermixing of (any number of) adjuncts with complements and in coordination. Close resemblance to two other recent approaches is pointed out.
