English Inversion: A Ground-before-Figure Construction - Cognitive Linguistics Research [CLR]
Rong Chen
Here, Rong Chen provides an account of English inversion, a construction that displays perplexing idiosyncrasies at the level of semantics, phonology, syntax and pragmatics. The argument is based on the claim that inversion is a linguistic representation of a Ground-before-Figure model.
