Syntax and Semantics of English It-Cleft Constructions: A Constraint-Based Analysis

  • 21

The so-called it-cleft construction in English packages information structure in a special way. In particular, it places salient discourse information in the postcopular position. This paper examines the syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic properties of the construction, and provides a constraint-based analysis of these properties within the framework of HPSG.
