초록

Old English main clauses are verb-second(V2), but they exhibit verb- third(V3) when the subjects are pronominal arguments. However this V3 becomes verb-second again when wh-questions, initial negations(ne) or the adverb þa or þonne in initial position exists. These Old English V2/V3 orders are therefore puzzling and have resisted the previous accounts. Based on labeling algorithm(LA) in Chomsky(2013, 2015), this paper shows that V2 in Old English is a manifestation of any agreeing features shared by the given syntactic objects in CP. In the meantime the subject pronoun in CP can not form sharing features, the paired form of the label <ϕ, ϕ>, due to the fact that it is inherently unspecified as to category like T and V in Modern English. Thus another XP moves to CP Spec to form sharing features for the phase completion, rendering V3 order while the fronted wh/ne/þonne operators form sharing features in CP, rendering V2 order irrespective of being subject pronouns in Old English main clauses.

Abstract

Old English main clauses are verb-second(V2), but they exhibit verb- third(V3) when the subjects are pronominal arguments. However this V3 becomes verb-second again when wh-questions, initial negations(ne) or the adverb þa or þonne in initial position exists. These Old English V2/V3 orders are therefore puzzling and have resisted the previous accounts. Based on labeling algorithm(LA) in Chomsky(2013, 2015), this paper shows that V2 in Old English is a manifestation of any agreeing features shared by the given syntactic objects in CP. In the meantime the subject pronoun in CP can not form sharing features, the paired form of the label <ϕ, ϕ>, due to the fact that it is inherently unspecified as to category like T and V in Modern English. Thus another XP moves to CP Spec to form sharing features for the phase completion, rendering V3 order while the fronted wh/ne/þonne operators form sharing features in CP, rendering V2 order irrespective of being subject pronouns in Old English main clauses.
