Giv n (ed) Topic continuity in discourse, Amsterdam : John Benjamins) gλω Likewise, in languages zero anaphora such as Japanese, RD involves no pronouns, much like L2dislocation. Given the typological characteristics of languages with Zero anaphora or with obligatory pronominal agreement, and given that a per2 ceived pause may in fact be only a tonal or intonational clue, there may be little difference between RD and simply placing an NP post2verbally, especially in flexible2order languages.

Xu, Jie 2000 The Interaction of the Grammatical Features Question and Focus in Sentences. Communications of COLIPS, 10, 1, June, 2001 ; A Cross2Linguistic Study of Incremental Sentences Abstract In this paper, a comparison is made between Chinese incremental sentences (previ2 ously known as inverted sentences ) and similar sentence types such as right dislocation and right de2 tachment in English, French, Greek and Japanese. It is found that : (1) in contrast to the other lan2 guages, Chinese has a greater tendency to use word order strategies (i. e. fronting or extension) to per2 form information focusing ; (2) there are indications that right dislocation occurs much more frequently in naturally occurring speech in Chinese than in English ; (3) a general condition for a right dislocation structure to be grammatical appears to be that its first part must itself be a grammatical sentence ; (4) Chinese and Japanese, as zero2anaphora languages, behave differently in this respect : the missing sub2 jects and objects often give the false impression that constituents are being moved around, when they are not ; (5) it is possible for the second part of an incremental sentence in Chinese to receive stress, but not so in English : this suggests that far from being an inversion, an incremental sentence may well be a regular syntactic structure in Chinese. Key words inversion ; word order ; focus ; intonation ; information structure ( ) ( ) 9
