Topic Intervention

摘要：

Introduction: Chinese is a topic-prominent language which, as the term suggests itself, heavily uses structures involving topics (the things being talked about) and comments (what is said about the topics) (Li & Thompson 1976, 1981, Tsao 1979, 1990), as opposed to subject-prominent languages. It is also this characteristic that makes Chinese a discourse pro-drop language whose “dropped” elements do not resort to rich morphological inflection to get restored and can be recovered from the topics in the context.
