Definition
VP raising is the movement of an infinitival VP to the right of its governing verb. This syntactic operation occurs in many German and Dutch (Flemish) dialects.
Example
In Flemish, VP raising results in the structure in (i)b, given the d-structure in (i)a.
(i) a da Jan [VP Marie nen boek geven] wilt]
that Jan Marie a book give wants
'that Jan wants to give Marie a book'
b da Jan ti wilt [VP Marie nen boek geven]i
VP Raising is distinguished from extraposition, because it is triggered by verbs that also trigger Verb raising, and because it induces IPP.
