What is "topicalization"?
Topicalization is a grammatical process where a specific element of a sentence is moved to the front to emphasize it as the main topic of discussion. This rearrangement highlights the importance of the moved element, making it the focus of the sentence. For example, in the sentence "She baked a cake for the party," topicalization can change it to "For the party, she baked a cake." Here, "For the party" is emphasized as the main topic. Topicalization helps clarify what is being discussed and guides the listener's or reader's attention to specific information in a sentence.
