Subject: Negation & Focus
A Few days back I had posted the following query to the LINGUIST.
Q1) I am looking for some work on Negation & Focus.
Q2) I have tried downloading Paul Hagstrom's paper on 'Negation Focus &
do-suppport in Korean', but it doesn't work.
I am really overwhelmed by the response. Thank you all very much.
Now, let me handle the answer to Q2) first:
1)
A) Paul Hagstrom wrote back and he gave me the following address of his
Webpage
http://www.bu.edu/linguistics/UG/hagstrom/linguistics.html
B) The following is the address of the web page for for a seminar on
focus that he taught about a year ago.
http://www.cog.jhu.edu/~hagstrom/focsem2000.html
it has some references on focus.
C) This is the address of the 'Glot International'
http://www.glotinternational.com/
One can look at issue 1(7) [it's free for now, though one has to
register to get access] which has an overview article by de
Swart and de
Hoop on focus.
D) He also suggested Jackendoff's 1972 book.
Paul Hagstrom's email address is the following ( I got it wrong at
first).
hagstrom at bu.edu
2)
Tamara Nicole nicol at cogsci.jhu.edu
too gave me the following addresses of Paul Hagstrom.
Paul Hagstrom - Linguistics Papers and Publications
http://www.bu.edu/linguistics/UG/hagstrom/linguistics.html
Negation, Focus, and do-Support in Korean
http://www.bu.edu/linguistics/UG/hagstrom/papers/NegFocDo.pdf
Thanx for clearing the confusion.
Answers to Q1):
A) Wouden A. van der <A.van.der.Wouden at let.rug.nl>
suggested that I should take a look at
Herburger, Helena (2000) What Counts: Focus and
Quantification. (Linguistic Inquiry Monographs # 36.)
The MIT Press. Paperback, xiv + 184 pp.
which was reviewed on Linguist recently. I really really wish I can get
a copy of this book.
B) Dr. Pierre Larriv=E9e
School of Languages and European Studies, Aston University
Aston Triangle, Birmingham, B4 7ET, United Kingdom
Tel +44 (0)121 359 3621 ext. 5454, Fax +44 (0)121 359 6153
Web http://www.les.aston.ac.uk/staff/pl.html
has suggested the article in English from his following book, which
is in French however.
Pierre Larriv=E9e. 2001. L'interpr=E9tation des phrases
n=E9gatives: port=E9e et foyer des n=E9gations en fran=E7ais.
Collection Champs linguistiques. Paris: Duculot. 242
pages.
Some elements of the book are presented in the following English
article:
Pierre Larriv=E9e. 2000. Linguistic Meaning, Knowledge,
and Utterance Interpretation. Bert Peeters (dir.). The
lexicon-encyclopedia interface. Collection Current
Research in the Semantics-Pragmatics Interface.
Oxford: Elsevier. 145-167.
He has been already posted the English article to me.
Thank you very very much.
C)Eitan Grossman <eitan_g_il at yahoo.com> wrote,
I would recommend a paper found in Gideon Goldenberg's
Studies in Semitic Linguistics (Magnes Press). It has
several articles dealing with negation and focus, and
though it brings examples from Semitic languages, it
was written with a general-linguistics audience in
mind. I would especially recommend the article "On
Verb Structure and the Hebrew Verb," and "The
Tautological Infinitive." In addition, I would
investigate the Egyptological writings of HJ Polotsky,
most notably "Etudes du Syntaxe Copte" which has a
great deal on focus and was probably the pioneering
work in any language on the Cleft Sentence .
D) Haihua Pan, Ph.D. <cthpan at cityu.edu.hk>
sent me the following paper:
" Chinese Negation Marker Bu and its association with Focus"
