Romance languages make use of syntactic topicalization strategies to mark various kinds of topic constituents, typically under Clitic Left Dislocation (CLLD) or Clitic Right Dislocation (CLRD). Despite the great deal of attention that these phenomena have received in the last decades, different analyses have been proposed and several questions are still controversial. In this paper, I focus on the role and distribution of clitic resumption in Italian topicalization constructions with the aim of identifying the syntactic properties that correlate with the overt presence of the resumptive clitic. The apparent optionality of the clitic is subject to variation across Romance and reflects structural differences, showing that non-resumed left dislocation actually corresponds to a structure other than CLLD. The ultimate goal of this analysis is thus to provide evidence in support of the movement analysis of CLLD, and against recent revivals of the base-generation or adjunction approach, by arguing that left dislocation with and without clitic resumption corresponds to two distinct types of A'-movement.

主题化、错位与重生

浪漫语言使用句法主题化策略来标记各种主题成分，通常在 Clitic Left Dislocation (CLLD) 或 Clitic Right Dislocation (CLRD) 下。尽管这些现象在过去几十年中受到了极大的关注，但已经提出了不同的分析，并且有几个问题仍然存在争议。在本文中，我将重点关注在意大利主题化结构中附着词恢复的作用和分布，目的是确定与明显存在的恢复附着词相关的句法属性。附着点的明显可选性会随着浪漫史的变化而变化，并反映结构差异，表明未恢复的左脱位实际上对应于 CLLD 以外的结构。
