• Resumen

  • In this paper it is argued that dislocates are interpreted in their surface position. Evidence from binding and scope phenomena is provided to support such strong hypothesis. Moreover, it is shown that its interaction with the Split-Topic Hypothesis, which argues for a partition of the focus-topic structure of the sentence, can explain some otherwise surprising asymmetries. Finally, it is argued for an integration of discourse and modality aspects in the computation of binding and scope facts.
