TY - CHAP A1 - Meyer, Roland T1 - VP-fronting in Czech and Polish : a case study in corpus-oriented grammar research T2 - Heterogeneity in focus: creating and using linguistic databases / Dipper, Stefanie, M. Götze and M. Stede (eds.) ; Working Papers of the SFB 632, Interdisciplinary studies on information structure ; Vol. 2 N2 - Fronting of an infinite VP across a finite main verb - akin to German "VP-topicalization" - can be found also in Czech and Polish. The paper discusses evidence from large corpora for this process and some of its properties, both syntactic and information-structural. Based on this case, criteria for more user-friedly searching and retrieval of corpus data in syntactic research are being developed.
