MUNOZ PEREZ, Carlos  and  VERDECCHIA, Matías. THE CLAUSAL DOUBLING CONSTRUCTION (OR ON WHAT IT MEANS TO REPEAT A SENTENCE). Lingüística [online]. 2023, vol.39, n.2, pp.75-88.  Epub Oct 18, 2023. ISSN 2079-312X.  https://doi.org/10.5935/2079-312x.20230018.

This paper presents a study on Spanish doubling patterns that follows the line of analysis advanced by Muñoz Pérez and Verdecchia (2022). It introduces a doubling pattern that has not been previously discussed in the literature, clausal doubling, and compares it with predicate doubling.

It argues that both patterns have essentially the same structure but are distinguished by the nature of the constituents that are dislocated in each case. This factor triggers a number of formal and interpretative differences that are captured by a unified analysis.

Keywords : clausal dobling; predicate doubling; contrastive topic; focus; information structure.
