在本文中，我想调查的后果的想法，首先提出的焦点韵律，即由Jackendoff 1972年，即假设，在语法中的焦点音位界面表示为之间的关系，焦点标记的句法成分，一方面，韵律重音突出。Truckenbrodt在1995年的论文中提出了一个强有力的假设，在这里和我最近的其他工作中（例如塞尔柯克2002），焦点-音系界面只包括句法焦点和韵律突出之间关系的界面约束。所有其他可预测的，非形态学的，语音属性的焦点声称是作为一个结果，语音标记的韵律突出和其他方面的语音表征之间的关系的限制。这个建议可以被称为焦点-语音界面的焦点-突显理论。我认为这一理论提供了一个深刻的解释，一系列的语音属性，与跨语言的焦点，并在同一时间解释了观察到的概括有关的焦点投影和分布的焦点相关的突出在句子中。焦点投射的问题在本文中没有涉及（但参见塞尔柯克（1999，2000）;塞尔柯克和Katz，准备中）。我想在这里说明的是，焦点突出理论为理解与焦点相关的语音短语提供了基础。在这一点上，我遵循了Truckenbrodt 1995年首次绘制的路径。
In this paper, I want to investigate the consequences of an idea about focus prosody that was first put forward by Jackendoff 1972, namely the hypothesis that the focusphonology interface in grammar is expressed as a relation between focus-marked syntactic constituents on the one hand, and prosodic stress prominence on the other. A strong form of the hypothesis, advocated in Truckenbrodt’s 1995 thesis and pursued here and in other recent work of mine (e.g. Selkirk 2002), is that the focus-phonology interface consists only of interface constraints on the relation between syntactic focus and prosodic prominence. All the other predictable, non-morphological, phonological properties of focus are claimed to be derived as a consequence of phonological markedness constraints on the relation between prosodic prominence and other aspects of phonological representation. This proposal can be called the Focus-Prominence theory of the focus-phonology interface. I think this theory provides an insightful account of the array of phonological properties that are associated with focus crosslinguistically, and at the same time explains the observed generalizations about focus projection and the distribution of focus-related prominence within the sentence. The question of focus projection is not addressed in this paper (but see Selkirk 1999, 2000; Selkirk and Katz, in preparation). What I want to show here is that Focus Prominence theory provides the basis for an understanding of focus-related phonological phrasing. In this I am following a path first charted out by Truckenbrodt 1995.
