In this paper, we investigate focus markers in Catalan that can take on discourse-particle readings. We focus on two Catalan elements that have not been studied from a formal linguistics perspective so far: the focus adverb precisament ‘precisely’ and the focus particle també ‘also’. We demonstrate that these elements feature interpretations that we identify as a type of meaning familiar from discourse particles in languages other than Catalan. After having outlined the basic distribution and interpretative effects of these particles, we analyze the semantics and pragmatics of precisament and també within a probabilistic argumentative framework, and we then conclude the paper by comparing the observations and analyses we have pointed out for Catalan to other languages that feature a discourse-particle reading of similar focus markers.

加泰罗尼亚语焦点标记作为话语粒子

在本文中，我们研究了加泰罗尼亚语中可以进行语篇粒子阅读的焦点标记。我们专注于迄今为止尚未从形式语言学角度研究的两个加泰罗尼亚语元素：焦点副词严谨“精确地”和焦点粒子坦贝'还'。我们证明了这些元素具有我们将其识别为一种从加泰罗尼亚语以外的语言中的话语粒子中熟悉的意义类型的解释。在概述了这些粒子的基本分布和解释效果之后，我们分析了这些粒子的语义和语用。严谨和坦贝在概率论的框架内，然后我们通过比较我们为加泰罗尼亚语指出的观察和分析与其他具有类似焦点标记的语篇粒子阅读的语言来结束本文。
