Abstract(s)
In this paper, a general semantic and syntactic characterisation of the topics introduced by connectives
such as quanto a – the Portuguese counterpart of English as for – will be attempted. The grammatical
differences between these topics and those that are merely signaled via syntactic ordering or intonational
devices will be highlighted. These differences include both semantic properties (e.g. the type of reference
chains allowed) and syntactic properties (e.g. recursion, position, sensitivity to islands constraints). A
connection with discourse mechanisms – of the cohesion-coherence type – in the constructions with
lexically explicit topic markers will also be underlined.
