It has been well-known since Höhle (1982), and in particular since Selkirk (1984), that the prosody of focusing is sensitive to the difference between adjuncts and heads or arguments. In Selkirk's proposal, when some item receives focus or pitch accent, an entire phrase can be interpreted as focused if the item is its head or an argument of the head. If, on the other hand, it is an adjunct of the phrase, only the adjunct, but not the dominating phrase node, can be taken to constitute semantic focus. Whereas in English there is no formal distinction between exclusive (or contrasive, operator) and nonexclusive (or information) focus, Hungarian appears to distinguish the two by syntactic means. Not all answers to (focused) wh-questions display a contrastively focused structure. The data surveyed in this paper serve to show that in contrast with a widespread view (cf. É. Kiss 1981; 1987; 1994) the VP is a true constituent of the Hungarian sentence and that it, too, can be focused. But the VP cannot be focused in the same way as other constituents. Firstly, VP-foci do not have to be understood as contrastive. Secondly, VP-focus is expressed by placing the verb, one of its argument, or referential adjuncts into the designated focus position. Thirdly, ex situ VP-focus is possible only in case of activity verbs; VPs of verbs of achievement or accomplishment can be focused only by placing the verb in the focus slot. The fact that arguments can be used to focus the VP is consonant with the general properties of focusing. Since arguments are ultimately projected by the head, they are in a grammatical sense representative of it. This is shown to be the case even in case of idioms, which can be focused much like other predicates, although idiom chunks are not focusable as such. Adjuncts, and in particular non-referential adjuncts, have no role in the projection of categories and are therefore incapable of 'transferring' their focus properties onto the category they are adjoined
