In this paper, we explore some of the insights into the grammar that become available with the use of a more strictly controlled judgement elicitation method, magnitude estimation (Bard et al, 1996; Cowart, 1997). In particular, we focus on wh-movement in German, and show how a range of assumptions, both specific to German grammar and more generally in syntactic study are made questionable. We apply this methodology to show that German respects superiority and discourse-linking (sensu Pesetsky, 1987), in contrast to the standard view in the literature, but in line with the predictions of generative grammar. But we further argue that this data type, and the gradient grammaticality that it reveals (Keller, 2000), permits us further insights i...
