The word order in German is quite liberal. Of course, constituents can be freely put into fields as long as some quite liberal constraints are satisfied. Even worse: it may even be possible that constituents are not projective. This means that a constituent does not form a subsequence of the whole sentence, i.e. that words of other constituents may intervene at some positions. For instance, the following examples contain non-projective constituents:
Schmoren müssen wird er in der Hölle. |
Cäsar hat Gallier getroffen, die ein ganzes Wildschwein auf einmal verzehren konnten. |
Das Gutachten hat der Professor versprochen zu schreiben. |
