<div>Quite apart from the problems of defining focus (on which
I'm less sceptical than the sources Eitan cites), in some of
the categories that have been cited the literature as focus
markers the question arises whether they really *mark* focus,
or are rather (i) attracted to a focused constituent, or (ii)
focus plays a role in their distribution.</div>

to refer you to an article which is devoted to this problem of
linguistic analysis:</p>
