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 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 language acquisition. 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. The analyses have wide-ranging
consequences for our understanding of the language faculty, and
will be of interest to researchers and students from advanced
undergraduate level upwards in the fields of syntax, historical
linguistics, and language acquisition.
