本文考察了美国手语（ASL）和巴西手语（Libras）中的双焦点结构，即句子中的一个成分出现在句子中的基生成位置，而一个拷贝出现在句末位置。我们回顾了文献中现有的焦点加倍数据，以及我们认为市场上最好的选择（Nunes和Quadros 2005）。然而，与这个分析最小的不同之处在于，我们提出，焦点元素的移动不是进行到一个非终结性焦点投影的头部，而是通过该投影的指定符;这种修改很好地排除了从一个占主导地位的非终结性节点中提取和c-command的需要。然后，我们研究了在天秤座与ASL的焦点加倍之间的不对称性，即在前者的间接问题中允许加倍，而不是后者，Nunes和Quadros没有解决的不对称性。我们建议，有一个禁止在ASL焦点驱动的运动的多个实例，并简要讨论如何惊人的平行限制多个焦点在现代希腊语可能最终持有的答案，以解决不对称性，在同一时间提出有趣的问题，信息结构映射到不同语言的语音和句法的方式。这篇工作论文可在宾夕法尼亚大学语言学工作论文：http://repository.upenn.edu/pwpl/ vol 19/iss 1/22 U。宾夕法尼亚大学语言学工作论文，第19.1卷，2013年当你能和不能看到双重：重访ASL Koji Shimamura和林恩Shan Tieu的焦点加倍 *
In this paper, we examine the emphatic focus doubling construction in American Sign Language (ASL) and Brazilian Sign Language (Libras), in which one element of the sentence appears in its base-generated position within the sentence and one copy appears in sentence-final position. We review the existing focus doubling data in the literature, as well as a previous syntactic analysis of the construction that we think is the best available option on the market (Nunes and Quadros 2005). Diverging minimally from this analysis however, we propose that movement of the focused element proceed not to the head of an emphatic focus projection, but rather through the specifier of that projection; this modification nicely precludes the need for excorporation and c-command out of a dominating non-terminal node. We then examine an asymmetry between focus doubling in Libras vs. ASL, namely that doubling is permitted in indirect questions in the former but not the latter, an asymmetry not addressed by Nunes and Quadros. We suggest that there is a ban on multiple instances of focus-driven movement in ASL, and briefly discuss how a striking parallel with restrictions on multiple foci in Modern Greek may ultimately hold the answer to resolving the asymmetry, at the same time raising interesting questions about the way that information structure maps onto phonology and syntax in different languages.
