- Thispaperproposesaformalanalysisoftwodisplacementphenomenain Mandarin Chinese, namely inner topicalisation and focus fronting,capturing their correlational relationships with control and comple-mentation. It examines a range of relevant data, including corpus ex-amples, to derive empirical generalisations. Acceptability-judgmenttasks, followed by mixed-effects statistical models, were conductedto provide additional evidence. This paper presents a constraint-basedlexicalistproposalthatiscouchedintheframeworkofLexical-FunctionalGrammar(LFG).Thelexiconplaysanimportantroleinreg-ulatingthebehaviourofcomplementationverbsastheyparticipateinthedisplacementphenomena.Unlikepreviousanalysesthatcastinnertopicalisationandfocusfrontingasrestructuringphenomena,thislex-icalist proposal does not rely on hypothesised clause-size differences.Itcapturestheempiricalpropertiesmoreaccuratelyandaccountsfora wider range of empirical patterns. Adopting the formally explicitframework of LFG, this proposal uses constraints that have mathe-matical precision. The constraints are computationally implementedusing the grammar engineering tool Xerox Linguistic Environment,safeguardingtheirprecision.
