{"product_id":"aspects-of-the-grammar-of-focus","title":"Aspects of the Grammar of Focus","description":"The book examines the aspects of focus within the recent minimalist paradigm. Focus is viewed here as a grammar’s response to the requirements of the systems external to (narrowly defined) language. Thus, the properties of focus are explored at the two interfaces: syntax-phonology and syntax-semantics. The book surveys some recent views on the interface and left-periphery status of focus. With respect to the semantics of focus, the book argues for its tripartite division into: information, non-exhaustive identification, and exhaustive identification. It further contains a proposal of the phase-based derivation of sentences featuring focus in English, and finally, offers an account of Polish, in which focus interestingly correlates with the phenomenon of scrambling.","brand":"Peter Lang AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54259959398744,"sku":"9783631579558","price":70.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9783631579558.jpg?v=1777830320","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/aspects-of-the-grammar-of-focus","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
