Sentence Type and Association with Focus in Aymara
- Sentence type marking is realized by two suffixes in Aymara, one marks declaratives and the other polar sentences (polar questions and negated sentences) by picking out one or two propositions, respectively. A third suffix, initially associated with wh-questions, turns out to be a (scalar) additive and unrelated to sentence type. The sentence-type-related suffixes associate with focus and the additive can associate with focus by attaching to the focused constituent.
