Grammar code
An ALE grammar covering the phenomena of aux-flip and partial verb-phrase topicalization in the three sentence types of German: verb first, verb second, and verb last. It closely follows the analysis proposed in: Erhard W. Hinrichs and Tsuneko Nakazawa "Partial-VP and Split-NP Topicalization in German: An HPSG Analysis" and "Linearizing Finite Aux in German Complex VPs": pvp.pl (The file includes a large set of test sentences demonstrating all interesting types of constructions.)
Some small extensions to load with the ALE system: ale_extra.pl. (Useful to run the test sentences.)
The log of a test-run of the sentences supplied with the grammar: test_run_log
