The journal Theoretical Linguistics, under the new editorship of Manfred Krifka, is now an open peer review journal. Currently, one of the target articles is a paper on focus by Geurts and van der Sandt. Review articles are now appearing in prepublication form on the web. [I was also asked to contribute but can’t wrap my head around the issues at the moment, quite apart from having no time for it. I am certain that the other experts will say everything that needs to be said.] Here is the target article and the reviews that I have come across:
- Target: Bart Geurts and Rob van der Sandt. [Interpreting Focus](http://www.kun.nl/phil/tfl/bart/papers/focus.pdf.%3C/li%3E%3Cli%3E%3Cstrong%3EReviews:%3C/strong%3E%3Col%3E%3Cli%3EDavid) Beaver. Five only pieces.
- Daniel B&\#252;ring. [Focus Suppositions](http://semanticsarchive.net/Archive/mZkNmU5O/Buring.FocusSuppositions.04.pdf.%3C/li%3E%3Cli%3EGerhard) J&\#228;ger. Alternatives or presuppositions? A comparison of the Background-Presupposition Rule with Alternative Semantics.
