2.2.4. The information structure of the clause
The information structure effects word order, but does not effect the choice between copulas. In the example, the subject is focused, but the present tense copula is the same as used in a neutral sentence.
János | van | a | kert-ben. |
John | be.3SG | the | garden-INE |
’It is John who is in the garden.’
