This book is concerned with the diachronic development of selected
topic and focus markers in Spanish, Portuguese and French. On the
one hand, it focuses on the development of these structures from
their relational meaning to their topic-/ focus-marking meaning,
and on the other hand, it is concerned with their current form und
use. Thus, Romance topic and focus markers – such as sp. en
cuanto a, pt. a propósito de, fr. au niveau de or sentence-initial
sp. Lo que as well as clefts and pseudo-clefts – are investigated
from a quantitative and qualitative perspective. The author argues
that topic markers have procedural meaning and that their function
is bound to their syntactic position. An important contribution of
this study is the fact that real linguistic evidence (in the form
of data from various corpora) is analyzed instead of operating with
constructed examples.
