This article deals with the term focus in Spanish, in particular, two subtypes of focus, called Contrastive Focus and Non-contrastive Focus (cf. Gutiérrez-Bravo, 2005). According to Zubizarreta (1998), in Spanish, the two types of focus most noticeably differ syntactically: While Non-contrastive Focus should appear at the utterance-final position, Contrastive Focus may appear in-situ. Inspired by a handful of studies (e.g. Cabrera-Abreu & García-Lecumberri, 2003; Kim & Avelino, 2003; Toledo, 1989) and motivated by empirical data gathered for the pilot study conducted prior to the current study, I set out to reinvestigate Zubizarreta’s (1998) claim on the distinction between the focus subtypes on the basis of the emprical evidence. The findings of the current study show that the pragmatically defined notion of focus (Lambrecht, 1994) is not further divided into two types in Castilian Spanish at least syntactically. There were no significant differences in Contrastive Focus and in Non-contrastive focus across the focus scopes, either.
