Right-dislocation is pervasive in contexts involving negation of presuppositions.

What is it about?

We offer an explanation for a class of right-dislocation where the role of the dislocate is (apparently) null, so that simple pronominalisation should suffice from a discourse point of viu.This paper shows that the this construction involves the contradiction of part of the interlocutor’s common knowledge.

Why is it important?

We offer an analysis for a class of right-dislocation that have proven impervious to any principled analysis, for the role of the dislocate is (apparently) null, given that its referent appears immediately before the RD and, thus, simple pronominalisation should suffice to retrieve it.
