dislocated: dislocated elements

The dislocated relation is used between a dislocated phrase and its head. A constituent (argument or adjunct) is dislocated when it is found outside the boundaries of the clause it belongs to.

The dislocated constituent is replicated by the am pronoun. The pronominalized constituent plays the role of object for the verb cause:

Note that in Naija the parataxis:dislocated relation was introduced for pre-nucleus clauses that function like dislocations.
