Focus association: syntactic domain, scope and focus── a comparison between Chinese and English

It has been well-acknowledged that any sound description of focus association should involve three notions: syntactic domain, scope and focus (cf. Jacobs 1983). The distinction between these three notions, however, is not as clear-cut as we might conceive of it. There has been controversy in literature over the kind(s) of syntactic constituents that specific particles can adjoin to. For example, Bayer (1996)’s discussion about Rooth and Jacob’s different views of the syntactic domain of ONLY and EVEN.
