However, there seems to be a great challenge to the cartographic program when the strategy is extended to Verb Second (henceforth, V2) languages like German, which require the inflected verb to be in the second linear position. That there is only one element allowed to precede the inflected verb seems to imply that there is only one possible functional projection populated in the left periphery, which is, at first blush, in contradiction to the split-CP idea. The book under review argues that the same left periphery in (1) can be shared by V2 languages. Giuseppe Samo proposes a general peripheral criterion model, according to which the verb undergoes head movement through all the activated left peripheral positions and it halts at the highest one requiring Spec–Head configuration. Consequently, the verb occupies the second linear position, just after its specifier. This book consists of seven chapters. Chapter 1 starts with a general introduction to the cartographic enterprise and properties of V2, then presents the research question that the book is going to address: if the C-system is really as rich as cartography suggests, then why does V2 not allow more than one element to occur before the inflected verb? InChapter 2, Samo develops a general peripheral criterion model within the cartographic framework. This model is appealing in two aspects. Firstly, it can account for the canonical V2 order; secondly, it is able to predict micro-parametric variation among V2 languages. The following four chapters are the application of the model and confirmation of the prediction. Chapter 2 (Section 2.3) examines variation in the subject-initial configuration; Chapters 3, 4, and 5 investigate V3 orders in the root context; Chapter 6 is dedicated to V3 orders in the embedded context. Chapter 7 recaps the book. Below I would like to comment on how Samo defends and applies his central proposal, and make two suggestions, accordingly. In Chapter 2, following the cartographic guidelines – including ‘one feature, one head’, the syntacticization of scope-discourse semantics, and the locality principle – Samo establishes a general peripheral criterion model which goes as follows:

然而，当该策略扩展到像德语这样的动词第二（以下称为 V2）语言时，制图程序似乎面临着巨大的挑战，这要求屈折动词位于第二线性位置。在屈折动词之前只允许有一个元素似乎意味着在左边缘只有一个可能的功能投影，乍一看，这与分裂 CP 的想法相矛盾。正在审查的书认为，（1）中的相同左外围可以由 V2 语言共享。Giuseppe Samo 提出了一个通用的外围标准模型，根据该模型，动词通过所有激活的左外围位置进行头部运动，并在需要 Spec-Head 配置的最高位置停止。因此，动词占据第二个线性位置，就在它的说明符之后。本书由七章组成。第 1 章首先对 V2 的制图企业和属性进行了一般性介绍，然后提出了本书将要解决的研究问题：如果 C 系统真的像制图所暗示的那样丰富，那么为什么 V2 不允许超过一个元素出现在屈折动词之前？在第 2 章中，Samo 在制图框架内开发了一个通用的外围标准模型。这种模式在两个方面具有吸引力。首先，它可以解释规范的 V2 顺序；其次，它能够预测 V2 语言之间的微参数变化。以下四章是模型的应用和预测的验证。第 2 章（第 2.3 节）检查了主题初始配置的变化；第 3、4 章，和 5 在根上下文中调查 V3 订单；第 6 章专门讨论嵌入式上下文中的 V3 订单。第 7 章回顾了本书。下面我想评论一下萨莫如何捍卫和应用他的中心提案，并据此提出两点建议。在第 2 章中，根据制图指南——包括“一个特征，一个头”、范围话语语义的句法化和局部性原则——Samo 建立了一个通用的外围标准模型，如下所示：
