초록
This paper aims to investigate‐functional and syntactic constraints imposed on extraposition from NPs in English. Given the general tendency that something focused or important is placed at the end of the sentence, it is shown that information structure has to do with extraposition: the elements extraposed from NPs must be more important than any other sentence element in information status; that is, the extraposed elements should be more important than the rest of the sentence elements. In cases where two types of extraposition are involved in a sentence, a syntactic constraint has also been suggested, following Jang (2006), that the path of an extraposed element must not cross that of the other extraposed element and instead, the former must be nested or vice versa.
Abstract
This paper aims to investigate‐functional and syntactic constraints imposed on extraposition from NPs in English. Given the general tendency that something focused or important is placed at the end of the sentence, it is shown that information structure has to do with extraposition: the elements extraposed from NPs must be more important than any other sentence element in information status; that is, the extraposed elements should be more important than the rest of the sentence elements. In cases where two types of extraposition are involved in a sentence, a syntactic constraint has also been suggested, following Jang (2006), that the path of an extraposed element must not cross that of the other extraposed element and instead, the former must be nested or vice versa.
