Information structure has been of great interest for some time. In recent theories, information structure is investigated with respect to its relation to intonation, its role in the interpretation of focus particles, or its impact on establishing ellipsis. However, there are very few approaches that focus on the effect of information structure on the referential status of linguistic expressions.
The Workshop intends to discuss the relation between information structure and the referential properties of two prominent linguistic units: indefinite NPs and clauses. On the one hand, we intend to discuss the interpretation of indefinite NPs with respect to the information structure, on the other hand, we want to investigate the connection between information structure and sentence mood.
Specific areas of inquiry include, but are not limited to the following:
The objective of the workshop is to integrate syntactic investigations on the field of sentence mood with semantic approaches towards the interpretation of indefinite NPs in the light of information structure and hopes thus to gain synergetically new insights.
