| Description: |
This linguistic study looks at focus and grammatical relations in Creole languages. Topics covered include: verb focus, predicate clefting and predicate doubling; focus and anti-focus; focus and pronominals; discourse patterning; and grammatical relations. |
| Synopsis: |
The volume has as its topic, not only the types of formal constructions and devices which creole languages syntactically utilize to achieve constituent focus, but also, in a much broader sense, the many other phenomena and processes found in these languages which serve to highlight sentence-level elements. The book is organized into five sections: 1. verb focus, predicate clefting and predicate doubling; 2. focus and anti-focus; 3. focus and pronominals; 4. discourse patterning; 5. grammatical relations. |
