摘要

焦点和新颖性是不同的特征。Selkirk(1984)和Lambrecht(1994)指出，焦点的子成分可以是给定的或话语旧的。然而，当涉及到句子焦点时，人们仍然普遍将焦点等同于新颖，并将科幻句子视为必须是全新的。产生这种偏见的原因之一是，以形式或类型学为导向的科幻小说描述倾向于只分析源于启发的不及物的“突然的”科幻话语。本研究基于西方曼德语Kakabe的自然语篇中的科幻话语，发现在自然语篇中，科幻话语与丰富的话语策略相关联。因此，SF内部指称物的语篇属性会发生变化，影响焦点标记的实施。研究还揭示了Kakabe语中指称物的话语属性如何决定焦点标记的分布。

Topicality in Sentence Focus utterances

Abstract Focus and newness are distinct features. The fact that subconstituents of focus can be given or discourse-old has been pointed out in Selkirk (1984) and Lambrecht (1994). Nevertheless, when it comes to Sentence Focus, it is still common to equate Focus with newness, and to treat SF sentences as necessarily all-new. One of the reasons for such bias is that formally or typologically oriented descriptions of SF tend to analyze only intransitive ‘out of the blue’ SF utterances stemming from elicitation. Based on SF utterances in natural speech in Kakabe, a Western Mande language, the present study shows that in natural speech SF utterances are associated with a rich array of discourse strategies. Accordingly, the discourse properties of the referents inside SF are subject to variation and affect the implementation of the focus-marking. The study also shows how the discourse properties of referents define the distribution of the focus marker in Kakabe.

期刊介绍： Studies in Language provides a forum for the discussion of issues in contemporary linguistics from discourse-pragmatic, functional, and typological perspectives. Areas of central concern are: discourse grammar; syntactic, morphological and semantic universals; pragmatics; grammaticalization and grammaticalization theory; and the description of problems in individual languages from a discourse-pragmatic, functional, and typological perspective. Special emphasis is placed on works which contribute to the development of discourse-pragmatic, functional, and typological theory and which explore the application of empirical methodology to the analysis of grammar.
