The Prosody of Topicalization
Because of the elusive nature of pitch accents and prosodic phrasing, the role of prosody has been neglected too often in the description of the syntax-phonology interface. This paper shows that the syntactic structure of German sentences is shaped by the formation of prosodic phrases, and that many puzzles are solved if prosodic phrasing and accents are systematically considered in formal gram...
متن کاملAsymmetry in Emphatic Topicalization
Southern German of the Austro-Bavarian type is known for its disrespect of the Doubly-Filled-COMP Filter (DFCF). Wh-questions and relative clauses are generally formed by moving the wh-phrase or the relative operator to the specifier of an overt complementizer. The examples in (1) and (2) from Bayer (1984) illustrate the construction: (1) a. I woaß ned wer daß des dõa hot INDIRECT QUESTION I kn...
متن کاملGerman Partial-VP Topicalization Revisited
The topicalization of partial verbal projections in German (henceforth: pvp topicalization) has received much attention because the variable constituency it displays is a challenge to the traditionally central role of constituent structure. In the HPSG framework, Pollard (1996, orig. ms. 1990), and more recently Hinrichs and Nakazawa (1994) and Nerbonne (1994) met this challenge with a variety ...
متن کاملInvestigating Filler-Gap Dependencies in Chinese Topicalization
The present study explored the on-line process of constructing filler-gap dependencies in Chinese topic structures. In a topic structure, extracting the topic from within a sentence is subject to locality constraints; for instance, gaps inside islands such as adverbial clauses are prohibited. Interestingly, similar to the parasitic gap (PG) construction in English, a gap in an adverbial clause ...
متن کاملOn Linkhood, Topicalization and Clitic Left Dislocation
This paper focuses on the Information Packaging notion of linkhood and provides a structural definition of this notion for Greek. We show that a combination of structural resources – syntactic (left dislocation), morphological (clitic duplication) and phonological (absence of nuclear accent) – are simultaneously exploited to realize linkhood in Greek, a generalization that can be captured in a ...
