Kasper (1993) presents a detailed analysis of word-order phenomena in the German Mittelfeld: ``the part of the German clause between the finite verb (or the beginning of verb final clauses) and the clause final verb or verb cluster, if any.'' In particular, he observes that the linear order of verb complements and adjuncts within the Mittelfeld is relatively free. Any treatment of adjuncts must therefore be able to account for this interspersal.
