dislocated
: dislocated elements
The dislocated
relation is used for fronted or postposed elements that do not fulfill the usual core grammatical
relations of a sentence. Dislocated elements are attached to the same governor as the dependent that they double
for.
In addition, the dislocated
relation is used for the focus element in a cleft sentence. This is a slight
abuse of the relation, because the focus element is not a dislocated dependent of its syntactic head, but
rather of the predicate in the relative clause making up the second part of the cleft construction.
