EN-US" class="">ISSLaC is a biennial platform for researchers interested in the grammar-discourse
interface in typologically diverse languages. In many papers on information structure (IS) a strict top-to-bottom approach with predefined IS-categories is adopted, so that the role of IS research often boils down to the identification of the structures that
express the assumed categories. The ISSLaC workshop series concentrates on the discourse-roots of information packaging, i.e. its relation to rhetorical structure, intentionality of communication, the cognitive states of the interlocutors, different discourse
genres and narrative strategies. This means that we look at IS from a bottom-up perspective. ISSLaC III was concerned with different empirical approaches to the typological study of information packaging in discourse. ISSLaC IV will keep pursuing the question
as to which empirical and analytical tools are best for IS research. <o:p class="">

EN-US" class="">In addition to abstracts on the general topic of IS, we also wish to solicit comparative
papers that deal with different construction-choice inducing narrative strategies depending on discourse genre or language type. We are especially interested in the question whether different languages or text genres exhibit different defaults with respect
to narrative strategies or information structural packaging. We hope to solicit papers that address this question as well as papers that give us more insight into all the devices used to signal the assumptions about the hearer’s knowledge and attention, or
to render transparent rhetorical relations, or the current intentions of the speaker. We are especially interested in abstracts addressing the following issues:<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p>
