Focused adjectives

Steps have been taken in the right direction. Guttierez-Rexach and Mallen (2002), Giusti (2002), Truswell (2004), and Demonte (this volume), for example, adopt something like Zamparelli’s (2000) Kind or Ki head, a level at which “kind” concepts are formed, and suggest that Focused adjectives are above KiP.

This is illustrated in the tree below, making some assumptions (discussed below) about attachment sites for different classes of adjectives.
