Description - Dislocated Elements in Discourse: Syntactic, Semantic, and Pragmatic Perspectives by Benjamin Shaer
This volume is about 'dislocation' -- 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 information structuring 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.
