Alternative Questions
This paper surveys the current state of art in research on alternative questions. Alternative questions stand at the confluence of three major topics in semantics, pragmatics, and syntax: questions, disjunction, and intonational meaning/focus. We focus on these components of alternative questions as themes in our survey, arguing for an emerging consensus that (i) disjunction in alternative questions must be modeled in an alternative-sensitive way…
Multiple Focus Strategies inPro-Drop Languages
In this paper I use the case of Spanish to argue that language regularities may give rise to multiple strategies for marking focus. In addition to the well-known observation that focus can be marked by word order and intonation, I present experimental results regarding ellipsis that show that overt full DPs in subject position in Spanish are marked as focused. This strategy is linked to a language regularity, namely the availability of silent (pr…
