Another look at right-detached NPs

Simard, Candide

Abstract

This paper proposes an analysis of right-detached NPs constructions in Jaminjung, a language of Northern Australia, in which right-detached NPs serve different discourse functions, either as reactivated topics or as afterthoughts, a distinction established formally principally on prosodic criteria with some clues from morpho-syntax.
