“…The same point is made by Johannessen (2005), who also argues that the correlative adverb moves covertly to the root of the CoP, where its selectional features can be checked against the coordinator.…”

“…The preferred structure is one where there is a correlative adverb inside the first conjunct, either in initial position, as in the Norwegian example in (84a), or in the position for sentence adverbials, as in (84b) (cf. Johannessen 2005). The second conjunct can be subject initial, as in (84a), or have the particle så in initial position, as in (84b).…”

The force of V2 revisited

The main claim of this paper is that embedded V2 clauses in Mainland Scandinavian have the same syntactic structure as main clauses. This means that embedded V2 clauses contain a Force head, and as a consequence, embedded declarative V2 clauses will normally be asserted. Embedded V2 clauses are also similar to main clauses in that they contain linkers which encode the local speaker and addressee. Hence, indexical shift is possible in embedded V2 clauses, but not in non-V2 clauses, which do not contain linkers. In shifted contexts, the assertion that the embedded clause represents will be attributed to the local, implicit speaker, while in other cases, the actual speaker will be responsible for the assertion. The Force head is also the source of the V2 order, since it attracts the finite verb in addition to attracting a phrase from its complement to its Spec. In this way, the connection between V2 order and illocutionary force gets a straightforward explanation.

“…One possibility explored by Progovac (1998) (Johannessen 1998;Bredschneijder 1999;Hendriks and Zwart 2001;Skrabalova 2003;Hendriks 2004;M. de Vries 2005a;Johannessen 2005). Second, there is an asymmetry between conjuncts that can only be explained if there is a paratactic relationship; I return to this below.…”

Abstract. I argue that syntactic phrase structure encodes three major asymmetries. The first represents the asymmetry between mothers and daughters that is called dominance, i.e. syntactic hierarchy. The second is the selectional asymmetry between sisters, which is translated into precedence in the phonological component. The third, called 'behindance', is an alternative for dominance, and represents parataxis. Parenthesis, coordination and apposition are analyzed on the basis of behindance. In our derivational model of grammar it is defined as a special type of inclusion that blocks c-command. It follows that parenthetic material can neither move toward the matrix, nor be bound by a constituent from the matrix. The syntactic asymmetry between first and second conjuncts is established theoretically and empirically in a new way.

“…It is widely known that coordinate structures display both symmetrical and asymmetrical properties in behavior. See Ross (1967), Munn (1993), Zoerner (1995), Johannessen (1998), Culicover and Jackendoff (1997), Boskovic and Franks (2000), Camacho (2003), etc.…”

“…If (8b) were admitted, then the first conjunct a would be immune to the effects of 1 Here we are not contending that either in either ...or... or both in both ... and... occupies the position of higher &i in (8a) in English. See Johannessen (2005) for some serious problems with this view. Rather, we believe that an overt form internally merged in the higher &i position is not transferred to J (nor E) in English.…”
