This paper presents a novel analysis of the phenomenon of stylistic fronting in Icelandic. It is argued that stylistic fronting is not a head-movement operation, but rather phrasal movement to subject position. In many cases, however, independent factors determine evacuation of the phrase prior to raising, i.e. the fronted phrase can be a remnant. It is shown that this approach can account for a variety of otherwise puzzling properties of stylistic fronting.

作为残余运动的文体前沿

本文对冰岛语的文体前沿现象进行了新的分析。有人认为，文体前置不是头部移动操作，而是短语移动到主语位置。然而，在许多情况下，独立的因素决定了提升前短语的疏散，即前置短语可能是一个残余。结果表明，这种方法可以解释文体前沿的各种令人费解的特性。
