Abstract:
In this volume, Luis López sheds new light on information structure and
makes a significant contribution to work on grammatical operations in the
Minimalist Program. Through a careful analysis of dislocations and focus
fronting in Romance, the author shows that notions such as 'topic' and
'focus', as usually defined, yield no predictions and proposes instead a
feature system based on the notions 'discourse anaphor' and 'contrast'. He
presents a detailed model of syntax-- information-structure interaction and
argues that this interaction takes place at the phase level, with a
privileged role for the edge of the phase. Further, he investigates
phenomena concerning the syntax of objects in Romance and Germanic -
accusative A, p-movement, clitic doubling, scrambling, object shift - and
shows that there are cross-linguistic correlations between syntactic
configuration and specificity, independent of discourse connectedness. The
volume ends with an extended analysis of the syntax of dislocations in Romance.

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.
