Abstract
In this paper I have analysed those works that encode Focus syntactically by means of a [+Focus] feature and of a Focus head (Foc), whose specifier hosts the focused element. I have shown that these works can account easily for focus in the left periphery. In fact, Focus movement can be seen as a way to create a feature-checking configuration necessary to check a [+Focus] feature. Moreover, Focus has operator properties, so movement can be interpreted as movement of the focus operator to its scope position, from where it binds a variable in situ, like other operators do (Wh-phrases, universal quantifiers, etc.). Unfortunately, this analysis encounters a serious theoretical problem related to the legitimacy of a formal feature representing the property of Focus in syntax, Such a feature violates Chomsky's Inclusiveness Condition, which says that the features are exclusively properties of lexical items. Focus cannot be a property of a lexical item, so a 'percolation' rule must be postulated that spreads the feature to the whole phrase interpreted as focus. Apart from that, the existence of a feature-checking operation for the property of Focus seems to have a theory-internal motivation only.
