INFORMATION STRUCTURE WITHIN INTERFACES - ASLI ...

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.
