We have said that conjugated ja/nee move as heads through Fin+Phi to satisfy V2. But the 'emphatic'/reversal forms with the reversal schwa can also co-occur with the verb doen ('do'). We summarize the core empirical data first. -- 5.3.4.2 The syntax of reversal responses. We first consider the derivation of (53b) in which reversal ja-j-e/nee-j-e combine with reversal doet. -- 6.
