There are two types of dislocation: right dislocation, in which the constituent is postponed (as in the above example), or a left dislocation, in which it is advanced. Right dislocation often occurs with a clarifying afterthought: "They went to the store" is a coherent sentence, but "Mary and Peter" is added afterward to clarify exactly who "they" are. By contrast, left dislocation is like clefting: it can be used to emphasize or define a topic. For example, the sentence "This little girl, the dog bit her" has the same meaning as "The dog bit this little girl" but it emphasizes that the little girl (and not the dog) is the topic of interest. One might expect the next sentence to be "The little girl needs to see a doctor", rather than "The dog needs to be leashed". This type of dislocation is a feature of topic-prominent languages.
