探讨了英语分裂句的信息结构。分裂句将命题分为两部分,这两部分被解释为穷尽焦点和语用预设。这两个语义成分可以灵活地映射到主题和评论的信息结构范畴上,从而形成评论-主题(“强调焦点”)分裂和主题-评论(“信息预设”)分裂。裂缝因此在构造上引入裂缝焦点或甚至一对焦点。他们还表现出一个断言(评论)的重点,这可能会或可能不会对应于裂缝的重点。在分裂分句中,只有排他性焦点助词才能与分裂焦点相关联,而附加性焦点助词和标量焦点助词则能与断言焦点相关联,从而产生包含多个焦点实例的额外分裂句。关键词:分裂;焦点;预设;话题
The information structure of English cleft sentences is discussed. A cleft sentence divides a proposition into two parts, which are interpreted as an exhaustive focus and a pragmatic presupposition. These two semantic components can be flexibly mapped onto the information structure categories of topic and comment to arrive at comment-topic (‘stressed focus’) clefts and topic-comment (‘informative presupposition’) clefts. Clefts thus introduce a cleft focus or even a pair of foci constructionally. They also exhibit an assertive (comment) focus, which may or may not correspond to the cleft focus. While only exclusive focus particles can associate with the cleft focus, additive and scalar focus particles can associate with the assertive focus in the cleft clause, thus giving rise to additional cleft sentences containing multiple instances of focus. Keywords: cleft; focus; presupposition; topic
