Opis

This volume is about dislocation i.e. the removal of phrases from their canonical positions in a sentence to its left or right edge.Dislocation encompasses a wide range of linguistic phenomena, related to nominal and adverbial expressions and to the informationstructuring notions of topic and focus; and takes intriguingly different forms across languages. This book reveals some of the empirical richness of dislocation and some key puzzles related to its syntactic, semantic, and discourse analysis.
