- Abstract: Brazilian Portuguese allows focalization in situ, in the sense that any sub-constituent of the sentence can be focalized in the canonical order, being solely marked in the prosody. The paper addresses the question of whether foci in situ must undergo covert movement to a dedicated focus position, in order to assess the validity of the Focus Criterion in this language. First, it is argued that postverbal focalization is done truly in situ in overt syntax, without involving movement (either overtly or covertly) to a dedicated focus position (FocP) in the periphery of vP. Then, based on phenomena involving negative concord and contrastive topicalization, it is argued that focalization in situ does not involve covert movement to a dedicated focus position (FocP) in the periphery of CP. The paper therefore maintains that the Focus Criterion is not operative in Brazilian Portuguese.
