`dislocated:ccomp`: dislocated complement clause

Through different subtypes of dislocated we more precisely identify which argument has been dislocated in the sentence and how it is realized in this position (nominally or clausally). This information is not directly retrievable otherwise from “basic” dependencies, since the dislocated relation always depends on the local head. It is also kept distinct from the use of dislocated for topicalisations and similar phenomena, which are not directly related to an argument expressed in the matrix clause.

In the translation of the example, the bold passage corresponds to the dislocated element, and the underlined passage to the dislocating one.

‘For Cicero says this of the Decii in the De fine bonorum: When Publius Decius, first in that family to be consul, offered himself up and charged on his horse at full speed into the thick of the Latin ranks, surely he had no thought of personal pleasure, or where or when he might seize it; for he knew that he was about to die, and sought out death with more passionate eagerness than Epicurus thinks we should devote to seeking pleasure.’ (UDante Mon-283, De Monarchia II v 16, Dante Alighieri)

Here the whole, lengthy direct discourse introduced by inquit ‘he/she/it said’ (from Publius till putat), expressed as a so-called finite clause, is anticipated in the matrix clause by the demonstrative determiner in the neuter singular hoc ‘that (one)’. The ccomp would further need to be specified by the subtype reported.

Note: in general, the dislocated element does not need to be of the same form as the corresponding argument appearing in the matrix clause, and there can be alternation between clausal and nominal realisations. The subtype of dislocated depends on the type of the dislocated element, not on that of the argument in the matrix clause.
