The dynamics of topic and focus

چکیده
This article presents a dynamic account of topic and focus. A dynamic view on meanings as context change potentials (e.g. Stalnaker, Kamp, Heim, Groenendijk & Stokhof) will provide us with a substantial account of the dependence of focused answers on the context set up by their preceding questions. Questions pose conditions on the focal structure of their answers (Paul 1880) and can further restrict the domain of subsequent focusing operators like only (e.g. von Stechow 1990; von Fintel 1995; Jäger 1996). As an illustration of these two facts consider the following example:
