a strategy found for the expression of thetic constructions. In a split structure, the information normally expressed as the comment or predicate in a topic–comment construction may be expressed in a different form, usually some sort of subordinate clause-like form. The information normally expressed as the topic in the topic–comment construction may be expressed in a different form, usually with a presentational construction; or both types of information are expressed differently. Example: in French Voilà la sirène | qui hurle [There's a siren | that's wailing] 'The SIREN is wailing', the interruption thetic construction expresses the participant (the siren) in a presentational construction, and expresses the event in a relative clause construction.
