<p>you may want to have a look at "predicate cleft" constructions in Kwa languages and some Caribbean Creole language.<br>

I am wondering if anyone has found examples where single morphemes can extract to first position. It is well-known that German can do this as in

For some reason the full VP cannot extract (<i>*Wem gelunden ist hier selten was auf anhieb</i>). You can modify the fronted verb with an adverb
<i>so gut </i>and apparently its grammatical (Bruening 2018)<br>

In Chácobo one can "extract" individual adverbial elements, but as far as I can tell only one of these elements can be "extracted" at a time.<br>

I wonder if there are cases like Chacobo or like German except where the verb cannot be modified by some element that is also fronted. Just instances of apparently non-phrasal (word, root or stem) extraction would also be interesting.</div>

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:monospace,monospace; color:rgb(76,17,48)">
p.s. I don't exactly know what extraction means all the time. In particular I'm not sure on what basis we can always assume that one sentence is derived from the other. For instance, in Chacobo I don't know on what basis I would assume that the verb is not
in fact undergoing rightward extraction.<br>
