The goal of this paper is to analyze the properties of (a special type of) ‘split interrogative’ (SI) constructions in Spanish.

2018 Chapter 2. Language variation at the prosody-syntax interface: Focus in European Spanish Focus Realization in Romance and Beyond, García García, Marco and Melanie Uth (eds.), pp. 33–70 | Chapter

2009 On the nature of covert operations Romance Languages and Linguistic Theory: Selected papers from ‘Going Romance’ Amsterdam 2007, Aboh, Enoch O., Elisabeth van der Linden, Josep Quer and Petra Sleeman (eds.), pp. 87–108 | Article
The phenomenon analyzed in this paper is instantiated by a type of pseudocleft structure in (oral) Spanish, characterized by the fact that when the element which is actually clefted (which is also marked as focus) is an internal argument, it can ‘extend’ its focal status to the constituents… read more
