information focus
0 Hello, everybody 02 br
02 br
00 I am learning MAK Halliday's Systemic Functional Linguistcs, which claims that the most important part of the New information should be the 01 font 00 information focus 02 font 00 , which may be marked phonologically, lexically or syntactically. 02 br
02 br
00 But i am confused with another two terms, 01 i 01 font 00 end focus and end weight 02 font 02 i 00 , both of which are related to Information focus. is there any difference between the two terms? In my understanding, in the unmarked structure, the information focus is at the end of a clause, and this is called end focus. Is my interpretation right? But what is end weight? Is there anybody who is so kind as to give me a definition of 01 font 00 end weight 02 font 00 and its difference with 01 font 00 end focus 02 font 00 ? 02 br
