Full V2, no V2, residual V2 : exploring variation through phases / Klaevik-Pettersen, Espen (University of Agder)
This paper presents a new phase-based theory of verb-second and indeed a new model of the left periphery. I argue that V-to-C movement of the verb to the phase head Fin0 has profound repercussions on clausal syntax which explains well-known differences between Modern Germanic V2 languages and Modern Romance non-V2 languages with respect to topicalisation. [...]

Word order variation with decir 'say' in spoken Peninsular Spanish : a case of residual V2? / Herbeck, Peter (University of Vienna & University of Wuppertal) ; Posio, Pekka (University of Helsinki)
In this paper, we investigate word order with the verb decir 'say' in two corpora of spoken Peninsular Spanish. This verb is particularly interesting because it has been observed to have a high frequency of postverbal subjects in previous studies. [...]

On word order and case in Old Italian past participle constructions / Egerland, Verner (Lund University (Suècia))

What is "residual verb second"? : and what does Romance have to do with it? / Cruschina, Silvio (University of Helsinki) ; Sailor, Craig (The University of Edinburgh)
This paper aims to clarify a point of persistent confusion in the literature: namely, the status of residual verb second. We approach this from both a terminological and typological perspective. Terminologically, traditional usage of residual V2 in the literature has conflated two different senses (one formal, and one historical); we argue that it is essential to keep these two senses separate.
