catalog abstract ""This book provides a Minimalist account of Focus and Topic constructions on the basis of a syntax-phonology interface analysis. On the assumption that structural investigation must proceed from 'bare output conditions', the author starts her analysis from the prosodic phrasing of Focus and Topic constructions proceeding to the type and extent of derivations which produced the relevant PF structures. The present work rests on its syntax-phonology interface perspective, which is systematically applied to both Focus and Topic analysis. This allows insights into the grammatical properties of Focus and Topic constituents and how syntactic information is made visible to interface interpretation." "Though centered on Italian, cross-linguistic analysis is extensively provided: data from languages as diverse as English, Hungarian, Modern Greek, Hausa, Chichewa, Serbo-Croatian and Somali are used to show that despite surface variations, the interface interpretation of Focus and Topic lies in the interaction between base-generated extraposition and feature-checking." "This book targets scholars and researchers in linguistics who are interested in syntactic and/or phonological analysis of discourse-related categories within the Minimalist approach."--Jacket.".
