Kiss, Katalin É.2009-05-262016-03-312009-05-262016-03-312009314278869http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bsz:93-opus-40407http://elib.uni-stuttgart.de/handle/11682/5728http://dx.doi.org/10.18419/opus-5711This paper proposes a theory of structural focus derived via focus movement which can account for all the focus-related facts attested in Hungarian, among them facts which other current theories cannot explain. It will claim that focus movement serves the purpose of creating a predicate–subject structure, in which the focus-moved constituent functions as a specificational predicate. The properties of both the focus and the background follow from the independently established properties of specificational predication constructions.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSyntax , Informationsstruktur , Semantik400conferenceObject2014-04-29
