summary
ʽVerbal morphology and verb movement in Övdalian’
Keywords: verb movement, embedded topicalization, transitive expletive constructions,
morpho-syntax, assertion, verbal inflection
The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, it aims at placing Övdalian (see Bentzen et al.
2015 and references there) among the Scandinavian languages with regard to verbal
morphology and embedded V2. Secondly, it attempts to formalize and test hypotheses pre-
dicting that languages/dialects that have the relevant morphological differences also show
certain syntactic differences.
