Abstract:

In recent years, a number of authors (De Vries 2009, Truckenbrodt 2015, Ott
and de Vries 2016, inter alia) have defended that right dislocations (RD)
should be treated as bisentential structures, where the “dislocated”
constituent is actually a remnant of a clausal ellipsis operation licensed
under identity with an antecedent clause. Although Romance RD is a fertile
area of research, the consequences of the biclausal analysis remain unexplored
in these languages. This monograph intends to fill this gap. Adopting this
approach not only solves some issues that have always been at the core of
dislocation structures in general; it also allows us to uncover novel sets of
data and to provide straightforward explanations for well-known
generalizations. Further, it brings RD along with a set of phenomena which are
structurally very similar, like afterthoughts or split questions, which have
been independently argued to display a bisentential structure. Under
alternative, monoclausal approaches to RD, the striking similarities between
these phenomena must be rendered anecdotal.
