Series Statement:
Rethinking comparative syntax
Content:
This volume provides an exhaustive and comprehensive treatment available of the Verb Second property, a central topic in formal syntax. While Verb Second has traditionally been considered a feature primarily of the Germanic languages, this book shows that it is more widely attested cross-linguistically than previously thought, and explores the multiple empirical, theoretical, and experimental puzzles that remain in developing an account of the phenomenon. Uniquely, formal theoretical work appears alongside studies of psycholinguistics, language production, and languageacquisition. The range of languages investigated is also broader than in previous work: while novel issues are explored through the lens of the more familiar Germanic data, chapters also cover Verb Second effects in languages such as Armenian, Dinka, Tohono O'odham, and in the Celtic, Romance, and Slavonic families
