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.
