Abstract
In this paper we tackle the focalization in musey language We analyze musey data in terms of Kayne s 1994 Antisymmetry We uncover two focusing strategies la clause final comp and clause initial comp the one sets the focused constituent at the end of the clause and the other moves the focused constituent to the beginning of the clause In the focalization la clause final comp we observe two movements The first moves the focused constituent from its initial position to the Specifier of the Focus Phrase The second brings the rest of the clause to the Specifier of the Cleft Phrase As regards the focalization la clause initial comp we observe one movement which goes from the initial position of focused constituent to the Specifier of the Focus Phrase
