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.

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