Overview

Empirical investigation reveals prevalent V3 word order in contemporary urban vernacular Swedish, indicating new syntactic patterns.

Key Points

  • The objective is to explore word order variation, particularly V2 and V3, in contemporary urban vernacular Swedish and its implications for syntax.
  • Empirical investigation using ethnographic material
  • Analysis of spontaneous speech patterns
  • Formal account of the C-domain in CUV Swedish
  • V3 is the preferred word order in spontaneous speech compared to non-subject initial V2.
  • Structural differences between V2 and V3 are not attributed to different verb positions in the C-domain.
  • Arguments, rather than just adjuncts, can occupy the initial position in V3 sentences.
