ABSTRACT The conference will promote the close examination of focus phenomena in creole languages. This topic was selected both because of the quite complex and variable preclausal morphology found in constituent focus in many creoles and because of the diverse methods of focus/emphasis that these languages utilize. The question of whether or not these different strategies represent a creole-wide phenomenon or are language-specific is a related concern. The conference will be the first of its kind to narrow its concerns to a single aspect of creole grammar. It will unite scholars to join in an extensive and detailed discussion of the topic from diverse theoretical perspectives. In view of these considerations, the principal aims of the conference can be summarized as follows: a) to explore the main aspects of focus constructions in a cross-section of creoles from a variety of theoretical viewpoints b) to uncover new facts about creole focus patterns and their implications for linguistic theory, and c) to encourage future conferences on other specifically determined topics in creole grammar.

摘要 会议将促进密切审查重点 克里奥尔语中的现象。 这一主题是由两个 因为前词形态学非常复杂多变 在许多克里奥尔语中， 这些语言使用的不同的聚焦/强调方法。 这些不同的策略是否 代表克里奥尔语范围内的现象，或者是语言特有的， 相关关注。 这次会议将是第一次这样的会议， 把它的关注点缩小到克里奥尔语语法的一个方面。 它 将联合学者， 从不同的理论角度讨论这个问题。 鉴于这些考虑， 会议内容可概括如下：（一）探讨主要 在克理奥尔语的横截面中的焦点结构的方面， 各种理论观点B）揭示关于 克里奥尔语焦点模式及其对语言学的影响 c）鼓励未来的其他会议 克里奥尔语语法中特别确定的主题。
