Verb-doubling in Basque and Breton

Résumé

(1) LEIT is an operation that bans tense-first orders. (Hanging topics and scene setting adverbs being out of the clause) (2) LEIT effects operate at a post-syntactic level, in pre-PF, postsyntactic morphology. (3) Leit effects are obligatory when last resort. The typology of LEIT effects includes : a.Merge of an expletive (head or XP) b.Attraction of the closest postverbal element into the preverbal position. c. creation an expletive by excorporation.

(4) Empirical domain: LEIT is not universal, but is active in at least : Welsh, Gungbe and V2 languages in general, including Breton and Icelandic, and, as propose here, in Basque.
