'S ann

[Andrew Carnie]

Hi All,

I've been thinking recently about focus constructions and I was wondering
if any of you Scots-Gaelicists out there can fill me in on the use
of  "'S ann". I know it is used much more than in Irish (where it is
limited to verbal focus, and then only in Munster), what do you
use "'Sann" for. Is it primarily for focus, or do you use it in
other copular constructions?


If you reply to me personally, I'll post a summary to the list.
