'''Verb movement''' is a [[movement]] of a [[verb]] to a [[c-command]]ing [[head]] position, e.g. I ( [[INFL]]) and C ( [[COMP]]). In many languages the verb moves to I to pick up morphological inflection ( [[tense]] and/or [[agreement]]).

=== Example ===

in [[Dutch]] (i) the uninflected verb ''kus'' is moved to I, and [[adjoin]]ed to it, to pick up the affix -''t'', and the resulting complex subsequently moves to COMP.

(i) a [CP [C' e [IP Jan [I' [VP Margriet kus ] [I -t] ] ] ] ]
b [CP [C' [I [V kus]k [I -t]]j [IP Jan
[I' [VP Margriet tk] tj ] ] ] ]

An alternative to (i) is the movement of a fully inflected verb to (and possibly substituting for) an empty I position in order to 'check' the tense and/or agreement features. Verb movement is sometimes called 'verb raising' in distinction to the lowering of the I to the V-position (e.g. in English). Verb movement is an instance of [[head movement]]. A special case of verb movement is [[Verb raising]].
