Following Abney’s (1987) seminal dissertation, many more phenomena in the noun phrase have been discovered and discussed. In this brief survey, I point out some recent results, some debated topics, and some new avenues for future research. I focus on structural aspects of the noun phrase discussing different nominal elements and how they relate to one another. I use contemporary German as a representative language. This is a highly inflected language, a fact that is often taken to provide clues about the analysis of certain linguistic phenomena. Other Germanic languages are discussed if they show an important relevant difference from German. I also point out some differences between North and West Germanic (East Germanic, e.g., Gothic, no longer exits).
