Left peripheral constructions in English and Hungarian, Szűcs Péter, 2020.

   This monograph investigates discourse-related clause-initial, left peripheral constructions within the framework of Lexical-Functional Grammar (LFG). The following structures are to be scrutinized: English topicalization (TOP), clause-initial adjuncts (CIADJ) and left dislocation (LD-Eng); Hungarian left dislocation (LD-Hun) and operator fronting (OF). The overall goal is to provide an account for these structures, especially with regard to their syntactic and information structural properties and to put them into cross-linguistic and theoretical perspective.




Lexical-Functional Grammar.
In this section I give a brief overview of the main theoretical framework of this monograph, Lexical-Functional Grammar (LFG), a model of the generative grammar tradition. Fhe first letter in the acronym “LFG” stands for “lexical”. In essence, this means that LFG holds that instead of transformations, it is the (mental) lexicon that is the engine behind most grammatical phenomena. Thus LFG is a non-transformational/non-derivational generative framework.

LFG subscribes to the Lexical Integrity Hypothesis: “morphologically complete words are leaves of the constituent-structure tree and each leaf corresponds to one and only one constituent-structure node” (Falk: 2001:26).

As a result of the Lexical Integrity Principle, “empty” or “zero” categories (traces, pros, PROs, silent copies) are generally avoided in constituent-structures in LFG (although some LFG researchers have suggested that under some very restricted circumstances, they may be resorted to, see Falk 2007).
