  • Description: This paper focuses on the syntax of specificational pseudoclefts. To account for the fact that in spite of the apparent lack of c‐command, elements in the wh‐clause of specificational pseudoclefts are able to enter into connectivity relations that require c‐command with the elements in the focus phrase, including the antecedent‐trace relation in certain well‐defined cases, I argue that the focused phrase moves in LF into the who‐clause. The movement is shown to have broad theoretical consequences and to provide a uniform account of a number of othewise puzzling properties of pseudoclefts, including several differences between regular specificational, inverted specificational, and predicational pseudoclefts.
