| Description | The seminar presents different approaches to and different applications of the theory of information structure. The topics of the papers should cover the dynamics of discourse especially from the viewpoints of the structure of context, the theme-rheme or topic-focus structure of sentences, the structure of paragraphs and texts, and the role of intonation in spoken discourse. The analyses are based on the material of written and spoken texts, as well as on parallel bi-lingual or multi-lingual materials. |
