https://www.bilketa.eus/ark:/27020/Artxiker-00108178Universidad del País Vasco / Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea (UPV / EHU)Irurtzun, AritzIKER, artxibo-001081782006-09-15I present a derivational analysis of the construal of the focus structure of the<br />sentence. I propose that the [+F] feature is an optional formal feature that can be assigned<br />to multiple tokens of the numeration. Hence, the focus structure is derived via Merge<br />(creation of a set) in a strictly compositional way. I argue that with the adoption of this<br />theory we can circumvent many of the empirical and theoretical shortcomings of previous<br />Nuclear Stress Rule-based approaches, and, furthermore, that it allows us to account for<br />split focus constructions (answers to multiple Wh questions) in a natural way.https://artxiker.ccsd.cnrs.fr/artxibo-00108178https://artxiker.ccsd.cnrs.fr/artxibo-00108178v1/file/DAFS.pdfvignette : https://www.bilketa.eus/in/rest/Thumb/image?id=ark:/27020/Artxiker-00108178&mat=articleNumengArchive ouverte HAL | HAL artxibo irekiafocusnuclear stressderivationbare phrase structureMorfosintaxiaMorphosyntaxeA Derivational Approach to the Focus Structure
