Experiments in Focus: Unraveling Language Comprehension
This volume presents new and cutting-edge research on how we parse, interpret, and understand language in complex discourse settings. The central challenge is to find empirical evidence on the relationship between information structure and semantic processing.
Comprehensible answers are provided by demonstrating the interactions of syntax, phonology, semantics, and pragmatics, and their influence on semantic processing and interpretation. The analysis of core information structural concepts that contribute to processing, such as focus and contrast, the specific discourse status of referents that add to the common ground, context dependency, markedness, prosodic prominence, and givenness marking, has added new and convincing evidence to the research of information structure and semantic processing.
