First published in 1991, this book examines the communicative
properties of 'cleft' and 'pseudo-cleft' constructions in
contemporary English. The book argues that these properties cannot
be ignored in any attempt to provide an adequate grammatical
description of the constructions. Furthermore, they provide a
source of explanations for the patterns of stylistic variation
displayed by clefts and pseudo-clefts. The book reports findings
from a corpus-based study of clefts and pseudo-clefts in modern
British English.
