Structures of ‘emphatic topicalization’ in Bavarian

| University of Stuttgart
Bavarian emphatic topicalization as in its most simple form Dees wann-e wissert! (‘If I only knew that!’) differs markedly from topicalization in Standard German which does not allow for topicalization to the left of a lexical complementizer in V-final clauses. The paper reviews some basic properties of the various forms of Bavarian emphatic topicalization and discusses two recent approaches to its structural analysis and differences to its counterparts in Standard German.
