Acehnese (6.2). The topicalized NP's are actually the head<br />

NP's, which already have an optional relative marker nyang.<br />

although very often it is not used. Therefore, a topicalized<br />

NP cannot be relativized. In the following sentences, nvanq<br />

is purposely omitted. The symbol ( A ) is used to indicate<br />

stress.<br />

134. a) Kacang* ji-pula aneuk nyan.<br />

Peanut 3y-plant child that<br />

'It is peanuts that the child planted.'<br />

b)*Kacang nyang ji-pula aneuk nyan ka timoh.<br />

Peanut which 3y-plant child that IN grow<br />

135. a) Asee A jl-kalon kameng nyan.<br />

Dog 3-see goat that<br />

'It is a dog that the goat is looking at.'<br />

b)*Asee nyang ji-kalbn kameng nyan itam.<br />

Dog which 3-see goat that black<br />

Some other sentences with topicalized NP's are not<br />

focus sentences, yet the topicalized NP's cannot be<br />

relativized either. The topicalized NP's are stressed NP's.<br />

136. a) Bajee nyoe* neu-sok di droeneuh.<br />

Shirt this 2r-wear SFC your<br />

'Please wear this shirt.'<br />

*. _ '<br />
