Abstract:

This volume provides a mechanism to uncover the extremely rich split-CP of V2
languages, in both root and embedded clauses, on the basis of theoretical
arguments and empirical findings. The movement of the inflected verbal head is
triggered to agree with the profiled informational value of the fronted XP.
The V2 “constraint” shall thus be observed as a sum of micro-V2s, in which the
inflected head creates Spec-Head configurations with the activated criterial
positions in the relevant context. The “second linear” position of the verb
results from the movement of the inflected verb to the highest activated
criterial head. In other words, there is no “bottleneck effect”, but ordinary
violations in terms of locality between fronted XPs. This monograph is aimed
principally at postgraduate students and researchers interested in the
description of natural languages adopting the guidelines of the Cartography of
Syntactic Structures.
