Annotation
In opposition to previous research on topicalization and left-dislocation in English, this study argues that left-dislocation serves the function of topic promotion, and similar to topicalization, left-dislocation features restricted and distinct usage conditions. In conclusion, it is remarked that computational corpus methods can be used to verify claims about pragmatic markedness.
