Abstract:

The realization of information structural units has been intriguing as
information packaging has reflections in the semantic, pragmatic, syntactic
and prosodic domains. This book extends the investigation by bringing data
from all these domains and presenting an analysis for the model of
grammar.Based on three-way classification for information packaging, semantic
investigation presents insights on compositionality and positional
restrictions for topic, focus and discourse anaphoric phrases. The prosodic
experimental studies reveal how focus shapes prosody and how diverse languages
encode such information packaging. Drawing on the findings of experimental
studies reflecting the interaction of information structure with quantifier
scope, negation and aspectual markers,clause internal functional projections
and scope domains are proposed in the syntactic analysis. The analysis offers
new perspectives for movement operations, functional categories, phases which
are central themes for the Minimalist Program.Building on the investigation of
information structure within semantic, prosodic, syntactic perspectives, the
book will appeal to researchers working on either of these domains or their
interfaces.
