Definisi & Makna dari "right node raising

What is "right node raising"?

Right node raising is a grammatical construction in which a shared element at the end of coordinated clauses is omitted for efficiency, while the main parts of the clauses remain intact. This typically involves a phrase that is common to both parts of the sentence being placed at the end, creating a clearer and more concise expression. For example, in the sentence "Jack cooks and Mary eats the meal," the phrase "the meal" is shared between the two clauses. Another example includes "Jane has promised but Mark refuses to help with spring cleaning," where "to help with spring cleaning" is the shared element. Right node raising allows for more efficient communication by eliminating redundancy while still conveying the intended meaning.
