This paper brings together recent findings concerning verb movement in Scandinavian. Three conclusions are drawn. (i) It is possible to distinguish three different types of verb movement. (ii) Each of the three verb movements targets a separate domain of the clause. (iii) Proposals concerning triggers/correlates of verb movement need revision (the Rich Agreement Hypothesis for V-to-I and the Assertion Hypothesis for V2).
