【 摘 要 】

Literary Yiddish shows a high frequency of declarative sentences with subject present and the verb in sentence-initial position--the so-called consecutive order. This study is an initial attempt to correlate this construction with cohesive factors; I am essentially testing a hypothesis pi-.t forward by Hennig Brinkmann and Klaus Fleischmann regarding the same construction in German, where it is very marginal if part of the Schriftsprache at all.
