(grammar) A sentence structure in which a constituent that could otherwise be either an argument or an adjunct of a clause occurs outside of and adjacent to the clause boundaries. For example, the sentence, "My father, he is a good man", is a left dislocation because the constituent "My father" has been moved to the left of the clause "he is a good man". See dislocation.
Le professeur a souligné plusieurs dislocations dans la dissertation de l'élève, comme « Ce film, je l'ai vraiment aimé », où « Ce film » est placé en dehors de la proposition principale.
