call for papers: Information and Discourse Structure Theories...

[Svetlana G McCoy]

This is to solicit papers for a panel at the 2001 AATSEEL annual meeting in New
Orleans, LA, December 27-30.

Panel title:
Information Structure and Discourse Structure Theories as Tested on Slavic
Languages

Brief Panel Description:
Slavic languages provide a rich source of data for testing out theories of
information packaging on the clausal level and theories of discourse structure:
for example, information packaging is encoded through such diverse linguistic
means as word order, intonation, particles, etc. Which theories survive the test
and which do not? How can data from Slavic languages contribute to the
development of a comprehensive linguistic theory of information and discourse
structure?

Deadline for abstract submissions: August 1, 2001
