Abstract:

In the last few years a lively discussion on information packaging has arisen, 
where traditional dichotomies Theme/Rheme, Topic/Comment and 
Focus/Background have been taken up again and partly reinterpreted. The 
discussion is mainly being held in syntax, but also in the fields of semantics 
and pragmatics. Some remarkable progress has been made especially in 
Focus phonology.

Even if the role of information conveying and information packaging in the 
Indoeuropean languages was hinted at as early as in the classical studies of 
the Neogrammarians, this field has remained neglected in today's historical 
linguistics. This volume tries to partly cover this lack with a sample of papers 
which offer a various range of new empirical data analyzed from the point of 
view of information structure. The novelty of the papers consists in the 
modern theoretical perspective from which the data are analyzed and in the 
various phenomena considered, which range from the rise of clitic elements 
to word order change and verb movement.
