Only: Association with focus in event semantics [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
We propose an analysis ofonly in terms of event semantics. This approach allows a unified treatment of a wide range of cases in whichonly is associated with focused expressions of different categories. Section 1 is devoted to a preliminary discussion of some problems that a good analysis ofonly should solve. In section 2 we concentrate on sentences in which the focused expression is a NP. In section 3 we show how our analysis can be extended to other categories. Finally, section 4 contains some remarks on related topics, such as scalarity and exhaustiveness.
