How does an utterance with a specific syntactic structure fit into the discourse context? presents a landmark collection of articles that reframe this central question, offering compelling insights into the theory of information structure as a bridge between sentence grammar and discourse. In investigating different focus structures, such as focus operators, wh-questions, ellipsis, anaphora and adjuncts, the contributions provide new empirical corpus-based and experimental evidence and identify novel information structural mechanisms and processes that are at work in connecting the grammatical components proper with discourse grammar and common ground.
