Abstract:

The book tackles the sociobiological bases of Information Structure (IS)
inquiring both its evidential and neurobiological underpinnings in human
communication. Its purpose is to delve into the epistemic and neurocognitive
rationales behind the realization of informational hierarchies in a sentence.
The book zooms in on an interplay, that between IS and evidentiality, that has
never been explored in IS studies and seeks to recast IS phenomena in an
epistemological perspective. The neurocognitive approaches discussed propose
neurophysiological investigations on IS processing, both with ERP and ERS vs.
ERD measurements. In its overall structure and general purposes, the book is
conceived for interested scholars working in the fields of linguistics,
neuropragmatics, experimental psychology, philosophy of language and cognitive
sciences in general, and it adds some further contribution to ongoing
psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic experimental research on the processing
of topic-focus and presupposition-assertion dichotomies.
