“…See (4) The causes for constituent fronting in informational focus structures are difficult to determine. One could hypothesize that in Catalan it is related to a more extensive use of the sentential left periphery (as proposed by Cruschina 2011Cruschina , 2012 for languages such as Sardinian and Sicilian). That arises further typological questions such as why Romance languages differ as to the placement of the focus as well as to the possible special meanings associated to it (Cruschina 2012).…”

“…The problem under discussion is the consequence of a definition of focus that is exclusively based on a referential dimension, whereas the relational level must be considered of primary importance when analysing the information structure of a sentence (Lambrecht 1994, Gundel and Fretheim 2004, Cruschina 2012a. From a referential viewpoint, foci express new information with respect to the mental state and knowledge of the speaker or the hearer, according to whether they refer to individuals or entities that are already under discussion and active in the discourse, or rather to individuals or entities that are introduced into the discourse for the first time.…”

“…2a,b). According to some definitions of this focus type, contrastive focus is strongly dependent on the previous discourse insofar as it requires an antecedent with respect to which an explicit contrast is set by the speaker (Cruschina 2012a, Bianchi and Bocci 2012, Bianchi 2013. What needs to be new in a sentence with a contrastive focus is therefore not the referent of the focus constituent, but rather the relation between the individual or entity denoted by the focus expression and the previously uttered corrected statement.…”

“…Em orações declarativas matrizes do Siciliano, um objeto direto com a função discursiva de foco informacional pode ser deslocado para uma posição à esquerda do verbo finito. 5 Seguindo a ideia de que, em pares de sentenças pergunta-resposta, o constituinte focalizado na resposta substitui o sintagma wh-na pergunta (ROCHEMONT; CULICOVER, 1990), Cruschina (2008) Um ponto interessante que pode ser extraído dessa discussão é que, embora o Siciliano não seja uma língua V2 (ver (14) novamente, por exemplo), essa língua apresentaria, sob circunstâncias pragmáticas e discursivas bastante específicas, um mecanismo de derivação sintática idêntico ao que é requerido por línguas com verbo em segunda posição -isto é, fronteamento de algum XP para [Spec,CP] e, o que mais nos interessa aqui, movimento de V para C 0 . A diferença em relação a uma língua V2 como o Alemão estaria no fato de que, nesta, o alçamento do verbo finito para C 0 ocorre independentemente do estatuto informacional do XP movido para [Spec,CP], como comprovam os exemplos em (15), extraídos de Rinke (2009, p.310).…”
