Abstract
This article proposes a new typology of the V2 property,
integrating new data from a corpus of Medieval Romance texts with data from
Rhaeto-Romance, Early Germanic and Modern Germanic. The proposed analysis is
that all V2 systems have a V-movement and phrasal movement trigger on the lowest
left-peripheral head, Fin, and that in a subclass of V2 languages Force also has
these properties. It is argued that the restrictions on and variation in
licensing verb-initial and verb-third clauses within Romance and Germanic V2
systems fall out from the Fin/Force distinction.
期刊介绍：
Linguistic Variation is an international, peer-reviewed journal that focuses on the study of linguistic variation. It seeks to investigate to what extent the study of linguistic variation can shed light on the broader issue of language-particular versus language-universal properties, on the interaction between what is fixed and necessary on the one hand and what is variable and contingent on the other. This enterprise involves properly defining and delineating the notion of linguistic variation by identifying loci of variation. What are the variable properties of natural language and what is its invariant core?
