A dinâmica do foco

Ronald Taveira da Cruz

Abstract


This paper presents Erteschik-Shir (1997, 1999, 2004, 2005) andLambrecht (1986, 1987, 1989, 1994) works to understand howinformation structure affects syntactic structure. This paper seeks toverify how top/foc analysis is distributed in linguistics phenomenon(syntax and semantics) and to understand the nature of relationshipbetween syntax, semantics and context (pragmatics). This research isbased on Heim (1982), Kamp, Hanse e Reyle (1993), Erteschik-Shir(1997, 1999, 2004, 2005) e Lambrecht (1986, 1987, 1989 e 1994),in according to dynamic syntax.

Keywords
