Abstract:

This book presents an experimental and theoretical investigation of the
interplay between information structure, word order alternations, and prosody
in Italian. Left/right dislocations, focus fronting, and other reordering
phenomena are analyzed, taking into account their morphosyntactic and prosodic
properties. It is argued that a restricted set of discourse-related properties
are inserted in the numeration as formal features. These discourse-related
features drive the syntactic derivation and the formation of the prosodic
representation in compliance with the T-model of grammar. Based on the
cartographic approach, this study proposes a model of the syntax–prosody
interface in which the phonological computation of prosody is fed by
syntactically encoded properties of information structure. However, this
computation is also governed by structural requirements intrinsic to the
phonological domain, and thus, a bijective relation between information
structure and prosodic representation is not guaranteed. The monograph will be
of interest to any linguist concerned with syntax, information structure, and
prosody.
