1 INTONATION AND FOCUS IN WEST GREENLANDIC
This contribution investigates focus realisation by means of intonation in West Greenlandic, concentrating on prefinal constituents. It finds that focus is realised in two ways in this language: Focussed words are realised with a complete tonal contour more often than ‘given ’ words, and are usually...
