1. Word order marking of focus and topicalization is heavily used. 2. This aspect of extraposition is unlike topicalization and discontinuities. 3. These examples illustrate the similar behavior of topicalization and " wh "-fronting. 4. Movement ( wh-movement, topicalization ) may actually not be the key factor licensing parasitic gaps. 5. The b-sentences contain parasitic gaps despite the fact that neither wh-movement nor topicalization has occurred. 6. Assuming that the a-sentences represent canonical word order, the b-sentences contain instances of topicalization . 7. Their appearance appears to be reliant on syntactic movement ( e . g . wh-movement or topicalization ). 8. A theory of topicalization is then built up in part by examining the nature of these catenae for feature passing. 9. Topicalization is used productively in ASL and often results in surface forms that do not follow the basic SVO word order.10. In particular, a direct ( or sometimes indirect ) object may be moved to the start of the clause ( topicalization ).
