Finite sentences in Finnish: Word order, morphology, and information structure

According to \citet{HolmbergEtAl1993} the finite sentence of Finnish is a structure with 2--6 functional heads. In this article, the theory is developed further and the functional heads are reanalyzed. The functional categories are divided into two categories: (i) lexical categories Neg, Aux, V, and C; (ii) morphological categories: AgrS, T, and Ptc. These categories are in separate tiers, and the tiers are linked to each other. Both lexical and morphological categories are hierarchically organized, and the linking between the tiers follows these hierarchies. The result of the reanalysis is a system that does not involve movement nor a complicated constituent structure of functional categories even though the desired properties of the previous analysis remain
