The role of information structure in sentence formation and construal: A frame-based approach (D04)

Subject Area General and Comparative Linguistics, Experimental Linguistics, Typology, Non-European Languages
Applied Linguistics, Computational Linguistics
Term from 2015 to 2020
Project identifier Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 192776181
 
D04 investigates the structure-building aspect of information structure as well as its effects on argument realization and constituent order in one discourse-configurational and two non-configurational languages. A central goal of D04 is to develop a frame-theoretic representation of those aspects of discourse structure, which have been found to be central for the disambiguation of IS-interpretation of marked constructions. Another goal is reference structure modeling to capture different types of definiteness and specificity marking and various refer-ence management tools in the target languages.
