An account is presented of the focus properties,
common ground effect and dialogue
behaviour of the accented German discourse
marker "doch" and the accented sentence
negation "nicht". <br>It is argued that "doch"
and "nicht" evoke as a focus alternative the
logical complement of the proposition expressed
by the sentence in which they occur,
and that an analysis in terms of contrastive
focus accounts for their effect on
the common ground and their function in
dialogue.
