This book looks at the relationship between the structure of the
sentence and the organization of discourse. While a sentence obeys
specific grammatical rules, the coherence of a discourse is instead
dependent on the relations between the sentences it contains. In
this volume, leading syntacticians, semanticists, and philosophers
examine the nature of these relations, where they come from, and
how they apply. Chapters in Part I address points of sentence
grammar in different languages, including mood and tense in
Spanish, definite determiners in French and Bulgarian, and the
influence of aktionsart on the acquisition of tense by English,
French, and Chinese children. Part II looks at modes of discourse,
showing for example how discourse relations create implicatures and
how Indirect Discourse differs from Free Indirect Discourse. The
studies conclude that the relations between sentences that make a
discourse coherent are already encoded in sentence grammar and
that, once established, these relations influence the meaning of
individual sentences.
