Pseudoclefts Crosslinguistically
Natural Language Semantics 6 (1):3-28 (1998)
Abstract
Pseudoclefts have been divided into two types, specificational and predicational (Akmajian 1970; Higgins 1979). The two types differ in interpretive as well as syntactic characteristics. In this paper we argue that the availability of the specificational type depends on the particular lexical items that a language employs to form pseudoclefts. We discuss the significance of these findings for linguistic theoryMy notes
