    In diesem Beitrag versuchen wir darzulegen, unter welchen Umständen introspektive Urteile objektive, quantifizierbare, und empirisch adäquate linguistische Daten sein können. Dazu skizzieren wir, wie die Resultate unserer experimentell erhobenen, relativen Urteilsstudien aussehen, und argumentieren, dass sie eine unverzichtbare Evidenzquelle für die Syntax bilden, weil sie Einsichten in die Architektur der Grammatik erlauben, die mit anderen Mitteln nicht möglich sind

    In this paper we investigate the quality of 'bridgeness', the extent to which a verb permits extraction from its complement clause. In spite of considerable study, linguists have only a limited idea of the nature of the factor involved. We address the question whether the quality of being a bridge verb is the same as the quality which permits a verb to take a verb-second complement clause in German. We report the results of two experiments using the technique of magnitude estimation, a method of eliciting grammaticality judgements with a high degree of differentiation. The data reveals that the 'bridge' quality and the 'V2' quality covary very closely, suggesting that they may well be facets of the same factor. We discuss the implications this finding has for the nature of the bridge quality
