    Abstract

    On the basis of the TITUS Project, the following contribution aims at showing the importance of a lesser-used language, such as Cimbrian, for the theory of grammar. In Chapter 1, we present the goals of TITUS and its possibilities in order to analyse old Cimbrian writings. Furthermore, according to these possibilities, the second chapter will summarise some recent results of the linguistic research about relevant aspects of Cimbrian grammar, in particular the syntax of verbal elements, of subject clitics, and of subject nominal phrases. Chapter 3 and 4 discuss which relevance these results can have in the Generative framework, in particular with respect to a generalisation.
