to Brandeis University from the National Science Foundation, whose support is
hereby gratefully acknowledged. I am particularly indebted to Annie Zaenen; many
of the ideas in this article have developed during our joint study of Germanic
syntax over the last few years. Many thanks to the following native speakers for
their patient help with data, and to the linguists among them for useful discussion,
references and comments on an earlier draft: Aldís Sigurðardóttir, Helgi Bernódus-
son, Höskuldur Þráinsson, Jóhann G. Jóhannsson, Jón Friðjónsson, Kristján Arna-
son, Magnús Fjalldal, Sigríður Magnúsdóttir, Úlfur Ragnarsson. Last, but certainly
not least, special thanks to the inmates of Room 306, Árnagarði, Reykjavík, for
the use of their personal libraries and the c-sick typewriter on which the first draft
was typed, and to the Fproyamálsdeild of the Fróðskaparsetur F0roya for the use
of a typewriter without which this article would never have gone to press on time.
