Regarding this part:

In what follows, I show how the commonalities between (88a) and (88b) can be accounted for.

I come back to my earlier comment. It is not entirely clear to me whether you assume that all Germanic languages share some core structures. If not, then being able to account for a commonality is irrelevant

Yes, I assume this. Dutch is pretty close to German and Afrikaans is close to Dutch and so on. The difference between local dialects sometimes is bigger than the difference between languages. Grammars of individual speakers of a language are not identical but they have to be similar to make communication possible. Grammars of different languages are less similar but there is still similarity. The Germanic languages are pretty close to each other. I think if one is unable to capture these similarities one would not be able to capture similarities in a speaker community. --- * Müller, Stefan. 2015.
