Abstract

In reply to Wiklund (2009), this paper addresses once again embedded V2
clauses in Scandinavian: the behaviour of certain discourse oriented elements
in these clauses, the possibility of topicalising embedded V2 clauses,
and the optionality of embedded V2. The conclusion is that the analysis
according to which embedded V2 clauses have illocutionary force can still
be maintained.
