Parameters of predicate fronting : cross-linguistic explorations of V(P)-initial clauses / edited by Vera Lee-Schoenfeld and Dennis Ott.

"Many of the world's languages permit or require clause-initial positioning of the primary predicate, potentially alongside some or all of its dependents. While such predicate fronting (where "fronting" may or may not involve movement) is a cross-linguistically widespread phenome...

520 |a "Many of the world's languages permit or require clause-initial positioning of the primary predicate, potentially alongside some or all of its dependents. While such predicate fronting (where "fronting" may or may not involve movement) is a cross-linguistically widespread phenomenon, it is also subject to intricate and largely unexplained variation. The papers in this volume explore the empirical manifestations and theoretical modelling of predicate fronting across languages. There exists by now a rich literature on predicate fronting, but few attempts have been made at synthesizing the empirical observations and theoretical implementations that have emerged. While individual phenomena have been described in some detail, we are currently far from a complete understanding of the uniformity and variation underlying the wider cross-linguistic picture. The aim of the present volume is to take some steps towards this goal, by showcasing the state of the art in research on predicate fronting and the parameters governing its realization in a range of diverse languages"--Publisher's description
