Abstract:

The phenomenon of clefts is beyond doubt a golden oldie. It has captivated
linguists of different disciplines for decades. The fascination arises from
the unique syntax of clefts in interaction with their pragmatic and semantic
interpretation. Clefts structure sentences according to the information state
of the constituents contained in them. They are special as they exhibit a
rather uncommon syntactic form to achieve the separation of the prominent
part, either focal or topical, from the background of the clause. Despite the
long-lasting interest in clefts, linguists have not yet come to an agreement
on many basic questions. The articles contained in this volume address these
issues from new theoretical and empirical perspectives. Based on data from
about 50 languages from all over the world, this volume presents new arguments
for the proper derivation of clefts, and contributes to the ongoing debate on
the information-structural impact of cleft structures. Theoretically, it
combines modern syntactic theorizing with investigations at the interface
between grammar and information-structure.
