This chapter reviews the previous analyses by Kato and Kato & collaborators with respect to the Focus position in Brazilian Portuguese, trying to show that before the 18th century Portuguese made use of the high Focus projection, in the sentence periphery, and that the great and only structural change with regard to Focus and wh-constituents has to do with the deactivation of this position and the activation of the low FocusP projection in the periphery of vP. More recent changes are shown to result from PF processes. An alternative to the cartographic perspective was considered, with a single CP, without expansion and without the low FocusP projection, but the cartographic perspective seems to be more effective with regard to the Focus phenomenon in Brazilian Portuguese.
