Abstract:

This book provides linguists with a clear, critical, and comprehensive
overview of theoretical and experimental work on information structure.
Leading researchers survey the main theories of information structure in
syntax, phonology, and semantics as well as perspectives from
psycholinguistics and other relevant fields. Following the editors'
introduction the book is divided into four parts. The first, on theories of
and theoretical perspectives on information structure, includes chapters on
topic, prosody, and implicature. Part 2 covers a range of current issues in
the field, including focus, quantification, and sign languages, while Part 3
is concerned with experimental approaches to information structure, including
processes involved in its acquisition and comprehension. The final part
contains a series of linguistic case studies drawn from a wide variety of the
world's language families. This volume will be the standard guide to current
work in information structure and a major point of departure for future
research.
