Key embedded V2 in the Norwegian, Danish, German and Belfast English fragments by embedding context (bridge-verb complements are quasi-subordinated), not by complementizer presence.

  • Bridge complement: V2 optional; other subordinate declaratives: excluded (FLV pp. 866–867, Westergaard (36), Vikner pp. 71–72 lists (17)/(18))
  • New verbSecondWithoutComplementizer per language (NO optional, DA excluded, DE obligatory, Belfast polar obligatory); Westergaard2009 reads Fin⁰/Wh⁰ off it via heads (p. 40), Table 3.1 theorems restated
  • Norwegian insubordinated cell (FLV p. 864), per-cell locators; data row (36) bridge-verb feature plus its at-less variant
