TY - JOUR A1 - Tomioka, Satoshi A2 - Ishihara, Shinichiro A2 - Petrova, Svetlana A2 - Schwarz, Anne T1 - Intervention effects in focus T2 - Interdisciplinary studies on information structure : ISIS ; working papers of the SFB 632 N2 - The most recent trend in the studies of LF intervention effects makes crucial reference to focusing effects on the interveners, and this paper critically examines the representative analyses of the focus-based approach. While each analysis has its own merits and shortcomings, I argue that a pragmatic analysis that does not make appeal to syntactic configurations is better equipped to deal with many of the complex and delicate facts surrounding intervention effects.
