After my dissertation on restructuring infinitives in West Germanic,I have started to examine the nature of variation in the head-complement parameter focussing on (synchronic) comparative investigations on word order in German and English. On the basis of the wide-held opinion (cf. Kemenade 1987) that English started out as an OV-language, I have extended these investigations with diachronic studies, since the development of English promised to yield interesting insights into the nature of this parameter. As it turns out, both English and German started out with mixed OV/VO orders (cf. Pintzuk 1999 for English and Hinterhölzl 2010 for German), raising new and interesting questions about the nature of the variation and about the factors responsible for the development of word order in the two languages.

We will see that its distribution might seem at first sight incoherent and show that only by means of a finer analysis it is possible to account for its characteristics in a uniform way. To this end, we compare the Armenian aorist with the English simple past and present perfect, on one side, and with the Italian passato remoto (simple past) and passato prossimo (present perfect), on the other.
