| Sep 8 at 10:18 | comment | added | Alazon | Maybe, strong focus accent on "wozu" might help to make the long movement sound more grammatical. – And yes, there are topicalisation options that don't respect an NP-node, cf. also: "Darüber ist [ein kleines Buch --] entstanden" (Dudengrammatik (2022), S. 64 f. / Randnr. 37 „Satzgliedteile im Vorfeld“). I don't think this refutes the bracketing I gave. | |
