[Lingtyp] Typology of information perspective

[Artem Fedorinchyk]

I'm afraid to be trivial but:
C. Féry, & S. Ishihara (Eds.), The Oxford Handbook of Information Structure.

Less known (but I personally found it quite concise and instructive) is:
Dooley R.A. Information structure. An introduction.
