This introduction to the role of information structure in grammar
discusses a wide range of phenomena on the syntax-information
structure interface. It examines theories of information structure
and considers their effectiveness in explaining whether and how
information structure maps onto syntax in discourse. Professor
Erteschik-Shir begins by discussing the basic notions and
properties of information structure, such as topic and focus, and
considers their properties from different theoretical perspectives.
She covers definitions of topic and focus, architectures of
grammar, information structure, word order, the interface between
lexicon and information structure, and cognitive aspects of
information structure. In her balanced and readable account, the
author critically compares the effectiveness of different
theoretical approaches and assesses the value of insights drawn
from work in processing and on language acquisition, variation, and
universals. This book will appeal to graduate students of syntax
and semantics in departments of linguistics, philosophy, and
cognitive science.
