Ward (1999:2-21) examines subject postposing in English and Italian. In English, according to him, the phenomenon falls into two categories, i.e. existential u201cthere,u201d which is sensitive to the hearer-status, and the English presentational u201cthere,u201d Italian ci-sentences and Italian subject postposing that seem sensitive to the discourse status of the postposed constituents. Both satisfy the expected requirement that the postposed information be new. While existential there was found to be sensitive to the hearer- status, presentational there, Italian ci sentences, and subject postposing were shown to be sensitive to the discourse status of the postposed constituent (Ward 1999:16).
