This collection of articles offers a new and compelling perspective on the interface connecting syntax, phonology, semantics and pragmatics.

Information structure is investigated here from different theoretical viewpoints yielding typologically relevant information and structural generalizations. In the volume's introductory chapter, the editors identify two central approaches to information structure: the formal and the interpretive view. The remainder of...

This book is dealing with sentential proforms and their relationship to their relating clauses. Sentential proforms are highly interesting from the point of view of grammar theory since their occurrence is determined not only by syntax, but also by prosody and semantics.

Providing syntactic, prosodic, semantic, psycho-linguistic as well as corpus-based support, this book underpins the claim that there exist different sentential pro-form types in German and Dutch, that these proform types correlate with different verb...
