Germanic languages are an interesting field of study since a rather small group of languages shows an interesting typological variation. For example, basic constituent order (SVO = Danish, English, Faroese, Icelandic, Norwegian, Swedish; SOV = Afrikaans, Dutch, Frisian, German and dialects or languages like Swiss German and Luxembourgish), the property of being a V2 language or not (all Germanic languages vs. English), elaborated case-systems and inflection (Icelandic) vs. almost no inflection in Danish. There is a consensus about certain topics in Germanic syntax in the generative tradition in a broader sense (including LFG, GPSG, and HPSG). For example, the analysis of the verb position and V2 in Germanic is rather uncontroversial: it is assumed that the finite verb is placed in initial position and that one constituent is placed before this verb. A valence-based surface-oriented approach is appropriate for accounting for phenomena like scrambling, verbal complex formation, and passive and case assignment. Such an approach does not only work for languages that are usually studied, like English, German, and Dutch, but the solutions work for all Germanic languages.
