Daniel Büring: Focus Projection and Default Prominence. Version from 9/5/03 — 1st draft, comments welcome.

In this paper I try to eliminate focus projection rules, i.e. rules that define which patterns of F (ocus)-markers in a phrase structure tree are permitted, and which are not. […] The goal of this paper is not entirely novel, and views and arguments similar to the ones presented here have been given in particular in section 6 of Schwarzschild (1999). I mainly try to marshal more evidence, and refine the theoretical proposal given there.
