In What Counts, Elena Herburger considers the effects of focus on interpretation. She investigates how focus affects the pragmatics and truth conditions of a sentence by rearranging its quantificational structure.Adopting a neo-Davidsonian stance, Herburger claims that various pragmatic and truth-conditional effects of focus sustain a uniform explanation if focus is viewed as imposing structure on otherwise unrestricted quantification. Phenomena discussed include "free" focus, the interaction between focus and negation, the quantificational structure of adverbs of quantification, the semantics of only and even, and the differences between weak and strong determiners.One of Herburger's aims is to show that a simple semantics, without reliance on such notions as semantic presupposition, can account for the truth-conditional and pragmatic effects of focus. The book will be of interest to anyone exploring the syntax-semantics interface and current theories of quantification.Linguistic Inquiry Monograph No. 36

Dieser Band untersucht das Phänomen der fokalen Ellipse aus grammatiktheoretischer und spracherwerbstheoretischer Perspektive. Als fokale Ellipse werden unvollständige Deklarativsätze bezeichnet, denen fokales Material fehlt, wie z.B. Sie sind geboren am? Im ersten Teil des Buches werden die syntaktischen, semantischen und pragmatischen Aspekte der fokalen Ellipse analysiert. Zu den wichtigsten Ergebnissen hierzu gehört der deklarative Status von fokalen Ellipsen, welcher nur vermittels einer charakteristischen pragmatischen Umdeutung mit der Fragefunktion fokaler Ellipsen verträglich ist. Der zweite Teil stellt eine empirische und theoretische Untersuchung zu fokalen Ellipsen im Spracherwerb vor, in der verschiedene Realisierungen von Ergänzungsfragen aus den Erwerbsverläufen von zehn Kindern analysiert und verglichen werden. Hier zeigt sich die besondere Relevanz fokaler Ellipsen zum einen darin, daß sie in neun von den zehn Korpora in einem phasentypischen Muster vorkommen, und zum anderen, daß sie chronologisch kurz vor den ersten w-Fragen auftreten. Als Vorläufer zu w-Fragen bereiten fokale Ellipsen syntaktischer Interrogativität den Weg, ohne selbst interrogativ ausgezeichnet zu sein. Das Ziel des Buches liegt nicht nur in einer umfassenden Darstellung der fokalen Ellipse und deren Erwerb, sondern nimmt dieses Phänomen als ein Beispiel für eine weiterreichende Hypothese über den Zusammenhang von Kindersprache zu Erwachsenensprache: Vorläufertypen der Kindersprache entsprechen randgrammatischen Typen der Erwachsenensprache in ihrer Form und Funktion.

Predicates and their Subjects is an in-depth study of the syntax-semantics interface focusing on the structure of the subject-predicate relation. Starting from where the author's 1983 dissertation left off, the book argues that there is syntactic constraint that clauses (small and tensed) are constructed out of a one-place unsaturated expression, the predicate, which must be applied to a syntactic argument, its subject. The author shows that this predication relation cannot be reduced to a thematic relation or a projection of argument structure, but must be a purely syntactic constraint. Chapters in the book show how the syntactic predication relation is semantically interpreted, and how the predication relation explains constraints on DP-raising and on the distribution of pleonastics in English. The second half of the book extends the theory of predication to cover copular constructions; it includes an account of the structure of small clauses in Hebrew, of the use of `be' in predicative and identity sentences in English, and concludes with a study of the meaning of the verb `be'.
