摘要

摘要本文讨论了贝努埃-刚果语伊格博语聚焦前沿的表面选择性。聚焦XP可以原位发生，也可以非原位发生。我们认为可选性并不起源于语法：事实上，一个焦点XP必须移动到语法中左边缘的指定焦点位置。原位和非原位之间的交替出现在PF：焦链的最低或最高拷贝都很明显。选择是由语义语用因素决定的。 e.我们看到PF和LF之间的相互作用。这对语法的Y模型的严格版本构成了挑战。

On optional wh-/focus fronting in Igbo: A SYN-SEM-PHON interaction

Abstract This paper discusses surface optionality in focus fronting in the Benue-Congo language Igbo. A focused XP can occur in-situ or ex-situ. We argue that the optionality does not have its origins in the syntax: in fact, exactly one focused XP has to move to the designated focus position in the left periphery in the syntax. The alternation between in-situ and ex-situ rather arises at PF: either the lowest or the topmost copy of the focus chain is pronounced. The choice is determined by semantic-pragmatic factors, i. e., we see an interaction between PF and LF. This constitutes a challenge for a strict version of the Y-model of grammar.
