| dc.description.abstract | The existence of focus in a sentence can be recognized from the available markers
used. Elements of sentence being focussed get “specific attention” within an
utterance. The specific elements “are separatd” from the others by means of certain
strategies and markers. The strategies and markers include, among others:
(1) the order, such as preposing the focussed elements; (2) the use of focussed markers,
such as the addition of pewatas (definite), relator yang, clitics –nya, conjunction
bahwa, and the word juga; and (3) the construction of specific focus, constructions
which intrinsically posite the distribution of focus by making constrast
and repetition. | en_US |
