The Dynamics of Focus Structure - Cambridge Studies in Linguistics
Erteschik-Shir, Nomi (Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel)
This book develops a new theory of focus structure. It explores the role of focusing in natural language sentences and the role of this basic cognitive mechanism in explaining sentence stress, meaning and structure. The result is an innovative view of our linguistic competence.
