Yes, sir.

I was just comparing it with the benchmark definition while thinking the order of information packaging is a bit inferior. But it is indeed to be considered.

Thank you very much, Paul.

All the constructions considered to be 'information packaging' (see Ch15) are non-canonical.

The reversal of subject and PC falls under the heading of 'information packaging', subtype 'postposing and preposing', more specifically subject-dependent inversion (see Sect 8, page 258 [47] iia/iib).

Examples of the five major canonical clause structures are given in Ch4, p78.
