The aim of the work is to provide some detailed insight into the mechanisms that regulate movement to the left periphery on the empirical basis of an up to now rather poorly investigated German variety, i.e. Cimbrian. We first show that Cimbrian still possesses the V2 property in the sense that the inflected verb moves to the left periphery of the ...

Finiteness and verb-second in German agrammatism
Brain and Language, 2005This study presents results from sentence-completion and grammaticality-judgement tasks with seven German-speaking agrammatic aphasics and seven age-matched control subjects examining verb finiteness marking and verb-second (V2) placement. The patients were found to be selectively impaired in tense marking in the face of preserved mood and agreement ...

Wymysorys is a minority language spoken in the town of Wilamowice in southern Poland. Even though Wymysorys is classified as a West-Germanic language, its phonetics, lexicon, and core grammar—morphology or syntax—exhibit various Slavonic characteristics. This chapter discusses phenomena related to V2 word order in Wymysorys. It is argued that Wymysorys

This chapter describes the V2 system of Dinka (Nilotic; South Sudan) in detail, focusing on those environments in which departures from V2 are tolerated. Dinka has a V2 effect both at the clause edge and at the edge of the verb phrase. The chapter shows that the way in which V2 is established in both places is dictated directly by the featural needs of

Rethinking the loss of verb second
2012AbstractMore than twenty years of research has been devoted to the nature of Verb Second (V2) in early English and its loss in the transition from Middle English (ME) to early Modern English (EModE). Yet there has been no sufficient explanation for why and how V2 was lost in clauses introduced by a non-subject first constituent other than a wh- phrase ...

This volume provides the most exhaustive and comprehensive treatment available of the Verb Second property, which has been a central topic in formal syntax for decades. While Verb Second has traditionally been considered a feature primarily of the Germanic languages, this book shows that it is much more widely attested cross-linguistically than ...

Bare quantifiers and Verb Second
2022Abstract The pre-participial syntax of the bare quantifiers tutto ‘everything’, molto ‘much’ and niente ‘nothing’ in Old Italian has been argued to be determined by the optional or obligatory presence of a classifier-like category n° in their internal structures (Poletto 2014; Garzonio & Poletto 2017, 2018). Their ‘upstairs’, i.e.

Abstract The V2-system described in Chapters 3 and 4 began to break down in Late Middle Welsh. Some aspects of this have already been noted, in particular, exceptions to the V2-rule with subject pronouns and the affirmative complementizer fe. In this chapter other sources of the loss of the V2-ru1e are examined.
