Clefts (which will be discussed in more detail in Chapter 7) are a group of presuppositional syntactic structures that come in several forms, of which the most common are the it-cleft (also known simply as a cleft), the wh-cleft (also known as a pseudo-cleft), and the inverted wh-cleft (also known as a reverse pseudo-cleft):
(170) a. it-cleft: It’s X that Y. It was a short-circuit that caused the power failure.
b. wh-cleft: What X is Y. What caused the power failure was a short-circuit.
c. inverted wh-cleft: Y is what X. A short-circuit is what caused the power failure.
