Fronted topics, clefted foci and the parameter of integration into the clause
P. 112–123.
The paper examines the similarities between two families of constructions: fronted nominal topics and clefted nominal foci. These may originate from the fact that both fronted nominal topics and clefted foci dissociate the expression of the information structure and the expression of the semantics associated with the relevant state-of-affair (SOA). These topics and foci can be said to vary both cross-linguistically and diachronically in the extent to which they are integrated into the clause describing the SOA. This approach provides an analysis for some typologically unusual constructions.

This paper considers dislocated topics in living West Caucasian (Abkhaz-Adyghe) languages, i.e. in West Circassian and Kabardian, Abkhaz and Abaza. We show that there are at least two grammaticalized constructions that introduce topics without integrating them into the subsequent clause. The first construction containing simple dislocated topics either leaves them unmarked or (in West Circassian ...

Relying upon the data of the Russian National Corpus and the Corpus of Russian Student Texts, as well as a number of the examples collected from various written sources, the ...

The present article addresses a special use of the Russian locative pronoun tam: the use represented in examples like ‘I talked to her — no understanding of the situation there’. In those contexts, tam refers to a participant (usually animate), rather than a location. After a brief sketch of other uses, I describe the rules and restrictions on the ...

Our interest here lies in supporting important, but routine and time-consuming activities that underpin success in highly distributed, collaborative design and manufacturing environments; and how information structuring can facilitate this. To that end, we present a simple, yet powerful approach to team formation, partner selection, scheduling and communication that employs a different approach to the ...

Статья посвящена анализу сравнительных конструкций в тексте хеттского эпоса «Песнь об Улликумми». В статье подробно рассматриваются примеры, включающие сравнение с семантикой симилятива («X как Y»), делается анализ контекста, позволяющий диагностировать сравнительный оборот в отсутствие специфических маркеров, в том числе в бессоюзных конструкциях (с соположением винительных падежей), рассматривается порядок слов в таких предложениях. Показано, что сравнение ...

In this paper, I cover the problem of the topic and focus revealing in the sentences of Hittite and Ancient Greek, two of the earliest Indo-European languages attested in writing. Information structure revealing gives us clues not only to the placement of accent (which is highly relevant for Hittite phonology) but also to the reconstruction ...

In Indonesian, numerative complex may either precede or follow the noun. In my work, I will show that two factors determine the position of the numerative complex: specificity and information structure. Information structure is also found to be significant for related constructions, i.e. those involving “floating” of numerals. I conclude that the position of numerals ...

Статья описывает семантику фокусной частицы =ok в горномарийском языке. Автор показывает, что эта частица вводит две пресуппозиции: исчер-пывающую пресуппозицию и пресуппозицию данности фокусного референта. Это предположение позволяет описать разные типы использования =ok, которые на первый взгляд кажутся разнородными. ...
