The force of the argument

På svenska

Author

Summary, in English

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.
