A Few Remarks on Word Order and Topic-Focus Articulation in the ligtht of an English-Czech parallel corpus

Abstract

In this paper, we study the relationship between word order and topic-focus articulation in comparison of English and Czech, namely in two areas: the position of proverbial determinations of time and place in the focal part of a sentence and the semantic range of particles called focalizers. We used the material of an annotated parallel English-Czech corpus (PCEDT).
