Abstract:
The volume presents recent results in the field of Information Structure
based on research on Italian and Italian dialects, and on further studies
on several typologically different languages. The central idea is that
Information Structure is not an exclusive matter of syntax but an interface
issue which involves the interplay of at least the phonological,
morpho-syntactic and semantic-pragmatic levels of analysis. In addition,
the volume is based on the study of actual language use and it adopts a
cross-linguistic point of view.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such
can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non
Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be
offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers
only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any
gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting
your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills
in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure
that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny.
Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.
