cleft strategy (str)
a.k.a.
a strategy for identificational constructions that uses an equational copula to link the focus and the presupposed open proposition that makes up the remainder of the clause. Example: the English Pseudocleft Construction that is the second sentence in Nikki Caine, 19, doesn't want to be a movie star. What she hopes to do is be a star on the horse-show circuit, uses the cleft strategy: the equational copula is links the presupposed open proposition what she hopes to do and the focus be a star on the horse-show circuit.
