Topic, Focus and Configurationality : Papers from the 6th Groningen Grammar Talks, Groningen, 1984 Hardback
Edited by Werner Abraham, Sjaak de Meij
Part of the Linguistik Aktuell/Linguistics Today series
Hardback
Description
Some fundamental questions regarding sentence structure in linguistics concern whether all languages, at some level of abstraction, have the same structure, and what are the basic categories with which to describe sentence structure.
The contributors of this volume are specialized in two quite different languages: Hungarian and German.
Of the German papers three are mainly about focus (Abraham, Jacobs, and Stechow-Uhman), whereas the remaining ones (Haider and Scherpenisse) are mainly about V-second.
The Hungarian papers are all about focus, of which those of Kalman, Kiefer, Maracz, and De Mey-Maracz are about focussing in the stricter sense.
Hunyadi, Kenesei and E. Kiss focus on the pre-verbal area in general and the interpretation of operators in Hungarian in particular.
The remaining papers (Horvath, Komlosy, and Szabolczi) are on the position of the PRE-V, the position immediately after the finite verb.
