The paper focuses on a basic aspect of the information structure in Kazakh as spoken in China, the topicalization strategies at clause level. Topicalization can be marked by grammaticalized devices, intonation and syntactic means. Comparisons are also made with topicalization in contact languages such as Uyghur and Chinese. Moreover, some differences between Kazakh in China and Kazakh in the Kazakhstan are pointed out. The theoretical framework for studying information structure in Kazakh is that of Johanson (2021a).
