<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Left-dislocation''' is a construction akin to [[topicalization]]. Contrary to what the name might suggest, no overt movement is involved. The element which is placed in front of the sentence is associated with some kind of pronoun:<br />
<br />
(i) ''that book''<sub>i</sub>, I don't think he has read ''it''<sub>i</sub><br />
<br />
This construction is also known as a Hanging Topic Left Dislocation.<br />
