- How Focus Determines Meaning

By David I. (University of Texas Beaver

Sense and Sensitivity by David I. (University of Texas Beaver
About Sense and Sensitivity

Sense and Sensitivity explores the semantic and pragmatic effects of focus in natural language discourse. The book concentrates on focus sensitivity, the remarkable dependency some words have on the effects of focus. An example is "only": compare "She only LIKES me" (i.e. nothing deeper) to "She only likes ME" (i.e. nobody else).
