Focus concord constructions in Japanese and other languages
Focus concord constructions consist of a single finite clause in which the focused constituent is marked with a particle, and its scope is indicated by a non-root inflection on the predicate. This special collection explores the syntactic, semantic, and morphological characteristics of focus concord from both synchronic and diachronic perspectives.
