Clefts, Particles and Word Order in Languages of Europe.
Miller, Jim
Language Sciences, v18 n1-2 p111-25 Jan-Apr 1996
Discusses the ways languages of Europe render the "given"-"new" distinction on the basis of data collected by means of presenting speakers of various languages with the task of reconstructing a route on a map. The article raises questions about the nature of "wh"-pronouns in English and about what is shared by these pronouns in interrogatives and in declarative clefts and non-clefts.
