The journal Theoretical Linguistics, under the new editorship of Manfred Krifka, is now an open peer review journal. Currently, one of the target articles is a paper on focus by Geurts and van der Sandt. Review articles are now available in prepublication form. Here is the target article and now all the reviews:
- Target: Bart Geurts and Rob van der Sandt. “Interpreting Focus”:http://www.kun.nl/phil/tfl/bart/papers/focus.pdf.
- Reviews:
- David Beaver. Five only pieces.
- Daniel Büring. “Focus Suppositions”:http://semanticsarchive.net/Archive/mZkNmU5O/Buring.FocusSuppositions.04.pdf.
- Regine Eckardt: Comments on Geurts and van der Sandt.
- Jean Mark Gawron: Comments on Geurts and van der Sandt.
- Joachim Jacobs: Focus, Presuppositions, and Discourse Restrictions.
- Gerhard Jäger. Alternatives or presuppositions? A comparison of the Background-Presupposition Rule with Alternative Semantics.
- Angelika Kratzer. Interpreting Focus: Presupposed or Expressive Meanings?
- Roger Schwarzschild. Focus Interpretations.
I am certain that all of the authors would appreciate feedback. I know that I will be talking about only in our current “semantics seminar”:http://semantics-online.org/topics04, so I will likely have something to say about some of the issues as well.
[Thanks to Regine Eckardt, Jean Mark Gawron, Joachim Jacobs, and Roger Schwarzschild for letting me host their contributions. Thanks to Bart Geurts for facilitating this. The other contributions are available from the authors’ websites or the “Semantics Archive”:http://semanticsarchive.net. ]
