More about the book
The paper explores the concept of preposing in English syntax, specifically focusing on the rearrangement of sentence constituents to emphasize particular elements. By analyzing examples like "COFFEE I ordered," it delves into the distinctions between topicalization and focus preposing, referencing Eugenia Casielles-Suárez's work from 1998. The study further examines whether the preposed element can serve as both the topic and focus of a sentence, comparing the analytical frameworks of Casielles-Suárez and the constructions discussed by Birner and Ward in 2006.
