Beskrivelse
Summary:This volume brings together cutting-edge research on the syntax–discourse interface, featuring eleven studies by prominent scholars that address the widely debated issue of the relationship between syntax and pragmatics. The focus is on which pragmatic features and categories should be projected in syntax in order to provide formal explanations for constructions whose structural properties are influenced by the discursive status of the sentence. The papers furnish data from languages such as English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish, amongst others, as well as from different historical and geographic varieties. Undoubtedly, this volume will be of great interest to those seeking empirical generalizations alongside compelling analyses of intriguing but understudied grammatical phenomena related to syntax–discourse interplay.
