商品簡介
Linguists, all but one from Germany or Scandinavia, contribute to the growing discussion about the role of information structure in language change, and operational methods that can be applied to corpus languages when working on information structure. The topics include information structure, constituent order, and case in Warihio, an Uto-Aztecan language spoken in Mexico; the information structure of object-verb-subject in Vedic; the decline of post-verbal topical subjects in Serbo-Croat; prosody, information structure, and word order changes in Portuguese; and evidence for two types of focus position in Old High German.
