Abstract

This variation is, in fact, not completely unknown to spoken dialectal German varieties: verb second order can be used in relative clauses introduced by a d-pronoun and verb second after I weil i is not uncommon in colloquial speech. The epistemological paper by Grenoble and Osipov ([6], henceforth G&O) focusing on linguistic effects of bilingualism in language shift ecologies reports "multiple kinds of variation in these endangered language communities" (p. 1). [4] investigated whether this heritage language maintains the patterns of verb placement typical for German varieties, i.e., verb-second placement in main clauses and verb-final placement in subordinate clauses.
