This session covers the syntactic analysis of German in the framework of Lexical Functional Grammar (LFG). It provides an introduction into basic assumptions: c-structure, f-structure, grammatical functions, coherence and completeness and then explains the analyses of passive, local reordering (scrambling) and nonlocal dependencies using the tool of functional uncertainty.
