Abstract
The main of this paper to investigate Hungarian focus interpretations. Hungarian has a special pre-verbal position for focussed constituents, which receive an exhaustive interpretation. Since the focus sensitive particle, ‘only’ goes together with this exhaustive focus, ‘only’ seems to be redundant or superfluous. For this reasons, we will investigate focus and ‘only’ in answers and multiple focus constructions and propose an analysis where exhaustivity-operator and only-operator are distinct.
