Previous research has shown that certain discourse conditions are necessary for the felicitous use of non-canonical syntactic forms like topicalization, left-dislocation, and clefts. However, the distribution of these forms does not correlate one-to-one with the presence of these conditions, and a system that generates these statistically- rare forms based only on these condi- tions will overgenerate. Instead, a genera- tion algorithm must be based on additional communicative goals that can be achieved through the use of these forms. Based on a corpus study, I present three types of com- municative goals that speakers achieve through the use of non-canonical syntax. |
