Klivaj predika, or predicate clefts in Haitian

Abstract Haitian’s well studied predicate cleft and its unstudied predicate reduplication are closely related: the former derives from the latter by A-bar movement of one reduplicant. This claim solves two long standing problems of the construction (why, apparently, this A-bar movement targets a head and leaves no gap). Moreover, it predicts novel restrictions on when predicate clefts are possible and makes possible a straightforward formalization of their semantics.
