Abstract

Against the background of the loss of V2 in English, this chapter considers microvariation in wh‐questions in present‐day Norwegian dialects, arguing that it reflects a diachronic change in progress. Within a cue‐based approach to acquisition and change, gradual diachronic development is considered to represent many small I‐language changes in succession.
