subject-initial embedded clauses without sentence adverbs (see discussions in Vikner 1995, 160–163). Under these circumstances, the subject-initial V2 order results in certain semantic or pragmatic interpretations/effects, i.e. to express that the proposition of the embedded clause is the main assertion (cf. the situation in the Mainland Scandinavian languages).
