- W307780468 abstract "It is interesting to note that the semantic notions surrounding the notion of focus in Philippine languages seems to be changing. In a recent issue of Linguistics, Miller and West imply an alteration in the direction of the description of focus in two Philippine languages, Mamanwa and Amganad Ifugao, and by analogy through the osmosis which characterizes much in the history of Philippine linguistic studies, the treatment of focus in Philippine languages in general. It appears that current thought regarding the complexities of semantic investigations have finally found their parallel in Philippine linguistics. Up to this point, with some exceptions like the Schachter and Otanes reference grammar of Tagalog, the question of focus in Philippine languages has often been presented in a way that allegedly was based on exclusively formal properties of verbal construction types, such that the dramatis personae roles of the various sentential complements were considered to be invariably carried by the voice-marking affixes on the verb. While this is not necessarily true for all verbal types, the situation was compounded by the fact of semantic notions regarding the nature of focus being mixed in with the formal properties question. Somewhere between the time of Blake's and Bloomfield' s early studies, which concentrated more on the formal properties of the verbal predicates in Tagalog (and by analogy, by other researchers in other Philippine languages) and more recent times, the notion of speaker's intent and attention-fixing devices began to be associated with the term focus. Perhaps it was the polysemy of the word itself that lent itself to the overlap of one of its meanings into its use in a technical grammatical sense. The curious notion, however, is how such an obviously mentalistic interpretation, unavailable to empirical verification, could have found its way into a rigidly structuralist tradition." @default.
