This book provides linguists with a clear, critical, and
comprehensive overview of theoretical and experimental work on
information structure. Leading researchers survey the main theories
of information structure in syntax, phonology, and semantics as
well as perspectives from psycholinguistics and other relevant
fields. Following the editors' introduction the book is divided
into four parts. The first, on theories of and theoretical
perspectives on information structure, includes chapters on topic,
prosody, and implicature. Part 2 covers a range of current issues
in the field, including focus, quantification, and sign languages,
while Part 3 is concerned with experimental approaches to
information structure, including processes involved in its
acquisition and comprehension. The final part contains a series of
linguistic case studies drawn from a wide variety of the world's
language families. This volume will be the standard guide to
current work in information structure and a major point of
departure for future research.
