This paper aims to provide a Role and Reference Grammar(RRG) account of it-cleft construction in English. The followings are claimed in this paper. First, it is claimed that English it-cleft construction is considered as the construction in which the cleft pronoun it serves both specificational and expletive functions and the cleft constituents are not the parts of the predicates. Moreover, the cleft clause is claimed to be a kind of relative clause. This claim leads us to postulate an alternative Layered Structure of Clause, which is different from the one proposed by Pavey(2004). Second, the be' predicates should be doubly marked at the Logical Structures to reflect two functions, in which the first one is for the semantic function, and the second one, for the pragmatic. Third, the cleft construction is different from the it-exptraposition construction, in that the mixed approach does not apply to the it-exptraposition construction, and the function of be predicate is predicational.
