Meeting Description:
A two-day workshop will be held at Potsdam University as part of the activities
within the special research group SFB 632 'Information Structure', funded by the
German Science Foundation (DFG). The workshop aims at bringing together
descriptive and theoretical perspectives on the analysis of predicate focus,
where we understand predicate focus as a cover term for a number of related, or
even identical phenomena that are discussed in the literature under various
headings, such as verum focus, auxiliary focus, polarity focus, focus on tense
and aspect, event focus, and narrow focus on the lexical verb. What all these
instances of predicate focus have in common is that they are used to highlight
aspects of the verbal or functional meaning of a clause, as opposed to the
highlighting of arguments and adjuncts, which figures more prominently in the
literature.
