Description of Topicalization and Stress Clash Avoidance in the History of English
The use of object topicalization declined in Middle and Early Modern English because with the loss of V2, topicalization easily led to prosodically ill-formed sentences with focal accents in clash. This book discusses the effects of this 'Clash Avoidance Requirement' in English and German as well as in Old English.
