Annotation
After some previous approaches to topic and comment have been introduced and have been shown to be inadequate, G. discusses left dislocation, right dislocation and some specific problems in Russian syntax in order to present her own ideas. The theoretical framework in which G. works is transformational grammar, particularly generative semantics, with a lot of influence from speech act theory.
