Palgrave Studies in Pragmatics, Language and Cognition: The Role of Placing in the Existential There-Sentence

At its core is the claim that there-sentences' form is distinct from that of ordinary subject–predicate sentences, and that this fundamental difference explains the construction's unusual grammatical and discourse properties.
