Issues in the Left Periphery

A Typological Approach to Topic and Focus Constructions

En savoir plus sur le livre

The study delves into linguistic theories surrounding information structure, particularly Rizzi's cartographic approach, using empirical data as a foundation. It begins with an overview of topic and focus constructions across various European languages, then shifts focus to Akan and Ewe from West Africa, where these elements are overtly marked. The author revises existing typologies based on findings from these languages, addressing theoretical gaps and questioning the interchangeability of "concord" and "agreement" within this framework.
