title = "The unification of object shift and object scrambling",
abstract = "This chapter reviews a number of issues concerning Scandinavian object shift and object scrambling of the type found in the Germanic OV-languages. It differs from earlier reviews in that it adopts as its null hypothesis that the two phenomena should be given a unified treatment. An important reason for this is that object shift and scrambling are subject to similar effect-on-output conditions. This raises the question why object shift and scrambling behave differently with respect to, e.g., Holmberg{\textquoteright}s Generalization. It will be argued that this is due to the fact that object movement is subject to various language-specific, violable constraints. ",
