The volume contains brand-new and innovative papers that target the nature of focus and topic at the interfaces of the model of grammar. The book is structured accordingly. There are four main sections: (i) a general section, concerned with the basic theory of the interaction of focus and topic with the components of grammar; (ii) the representation of focus at the syntax-pragmatics interface concentrating on language comparison; (iii) the phonological representation of focus and topic and its relation to meaning, and (iv) the interaction of focus and topic at the semantics-pragmatics interface with an emphasis on the notion of contrast. Together the papers collected in this volume present a state-of-the-art account of the architecture of focus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"de Gruyter Mouton","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45414724567191,"sku":"9783110185782","price":20229.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783110185782.webp?v=1767445021","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-architecture-of-focus-9783110185782","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
