“…Diphthongs are treated here as V(ː)C sequences, where C is a glide [j] or [υ]. As such, they always scan as heavy, with two conditional exceptions: [aj] and (rare) [aυ] are claimed to scan as heavy word-initially but light elsewhere (for similar situations in other languages see Miyashita 2002, Kiparsky 2003). These diphthongs, when light, are notated [ăj] and [ăυ] here.…”

“…Pres-1subj-2obj you see-non.Past 'I see you' (Hale 1983: 18) Tohono O'odham (Papago) is another V2 language in which the finiteness marking is always realized as an auxiliary in second position and never through inflectional affixes on the lexical verb. Consequently in O'odham, the lexical verb never occupies the second position (Zepeda 1983, Miyashita 2006.…”

In this chapter, it is shown that finite verbs which are attracted by Verb-Second (V2) movement are reconstructed into their base position for interpretation. In fact, the lexical part of the finite verb is never interpreted in its fronted position. We present two groups of empirical findings which strongly support this conclusion. The first group provides grammar-internal evidence for reconstruction, the second group shows that the verb's reconstruction can also be traced in the process of human sentence comprehension. The German verb brauchen, which happens to be a negative polarity item and thus needs to be interpreted in the scope of negation, provides evidence for the reconstruction process in on-line comprehension. Our discussion is embedded in a review of sentence processing in German. It is shown how processing can be efficient despite the fact that the verb's semantic contribution may be delayed. Our account of V2 in grammar and parsing supports a rather tight link between the competence grammar and the dynamics of sentence processing.Note: Parts of this article have been presented in various colloquia in Aarhus, Konstanz, Munich, Wuppertal and Köln, at CUNY 2015 in Los Angeles, and the XII. International Symposium of Psycholinguistics in Valencia. We would like to thank the respective audiences for discussion and in particular an anonymous reviewer for useful comments. Additionally we thank Peter Culicover,
