Zusammenfassung:[...]chapter 6, 'General conclusion', provides a good summary of what Haumann has argued for in her book. [...]in a Cinque-type analysis, we are forced to assume that finite auxiliaries move to the Tense Phrase (TP) only optionally (236). There are probably good reasons for these facts, but they should have been mentioned in a preface. [...]reference is sometimes made to unpublished versions of sources that were actually published several years prior to 2007. [...]it is not obvious which of Haumann's claims about English are intended to be regarded as universally valid - a point on which Haumann could (and should) have been much more explicit.
