Predicate Clefts in LFG

[Ash Asudeh]

Dear all

Mary Dalrymple and Tracy King have pointed out some more previous work in
LFG that is relevant to the predicate cleft discussion.

Tracy has a paper in which she has already suggested using PRED for verb
focus:

@inproceedings{King:Focus,
  key =         "King 1997",
  author =     "Tracy Holloway King",
  year =     1997,
  title =     "Focus Domains and Information Structure",
  booktitle =     Proceedings of the LFG97 Conference,
  editor =     "Miriam Butt and Tracy Holloway King",
  url =     http://csli-publications.stanford.edu/LFG/2/lfg97.html
}


Mary  pointed out that Victoria Rosén's thesis contains material that is
relevant:

@phdthesis{VRosen:PhD,
  key =         "Rosen 1998",
  author =     "Victoria Ros{\'e}n",
  title =     "Topics and Empty Pronouns in {V}ietnamese",
  school =     "University of Bergen",
  year =     1998
}


Mary also pointed out that Annie Zaenen and Ron Kaplan's recent work on
using subsumption for German partial fronting is also relevant:

@inproceedings{zaenen;kaplan02,
  author =     "Annie Zaenen and Ronald M. Kaplan",
  year =     2002,
  title =     "Subsumption and Equality: German Partial Fronting in LFG",
  booktitle =    Proceedings of the LFG02 Conference 
  editor =     "Miriam Butt and Tracy Holloway King",
  url =        http://csli-publications.stanford.edu/LFG/7/lfg02.html
}
