Extraction has traditionally been one of the main topics in generative grammar, and it retains this status in current variants of the theory. German provides a good testing ground for traditional as well as current theories of extraction. The nine contributions to this volume document the recent lively discussions on the adequate analyses of extraction constructions, on the impact of extraction on semantic interpretation, and, above all, on the question of which constructions are to be analysed as extractions and which not.
Uli Lutz gives an overview of extraction theory. Marga Reis challenges the standard analysis of extraction from verb-second clauses and opts for a parenthetic analysis. Franz d'Avis confronts current approaches to wh-islands with the facts in German and investigates the semantic properties of topicalization from wh-clauses. Sigrid Beck derives various negative island effects from a constraint on Logical Form. Jürgen Pafel relates the differences between two kinds of extraction from noun phrases to the structure of the noun phrases. Daniel Büring and Katharina Hartmann argue for the traditional analysis of extraposition as rightward movement, based on a detailed comparison with alternative accounts. Gereon Müller derives the peculiar restrictions on extraposition from a theory of improper movement. Hubert Haider defends his analysis of extraposition as a base-generated construction against his critics. Chris Wilder develops a minimalist account of extraposition and takes extraposition and coordination ellipsis to be instances of the same process.

On Extraction and Extraposition in German
I found this book about bilingualism when I wrote mine on same subject. "Emotions and multilingualism" is unique in his genre, an overview on how different languages may actually get different responses from the same subject. In this book Pavlenko does not limit the study to emotions but necessarily includes affections and behaviors as well. She investigates for example how a certain language, more than another can, in a multilingual subject, trigger feelings and memories, what language a patient may prefer or reject in psycho therapy, what's the reason and meaning of code switching and much more.
This book is particularly interesting to all those who speak more than one language or have family or friends who do so. Reading it, you may finally understand why for example you basically curse in your first language but find it much easier to say "I love you" in your second language. Although it is a book written for academic purposes, it is highly readable but it is obviously not trivial literature: you have to be well motivated to get through the whole book.
