Introduction / Carsten Breul, Edward Göbbel & Alexander Thiel -- Contrastive topics and distributed foci as instances of sub-informativity : a comparison of English and German / Volker Gast -- Givenness and discourse anaphors / Luis López -- Constraints on subject-focus mapping in French and English : a contrastive analysis / Knud Lambrecht -- Wh-questions in French and English : mapping syntax to information structure / Paul Boucher -- A comparative perspective on intensive reflexives : English and Hebrew / Dana Cohen -- Focus types and argument asymmetries : a cross-linguistic study in language production / Stavros Skopeteas and Gisbert Fanselow -- Topicality in L1-acquisition : a contrastive analysis of null subject expressions in child French and German / Nicole Hauser-Grüdl -- Formal and



functional constraints on constituent order and their universality / Peter Öhl -- On the foundations of the contrastive study of information structure / Carsten Breul.

Sommario/riassunto

The paper presents some ideas on the delineation of a more specific contrastive approach to information structure analysis within the larger and more loosely circumscribed comparative area. It will be argued that this delineation can be effected by emphasising the methodological role of the notion tertium comparationis. Ontological and methodological aspects of contrastive information structure analysis will be discussed, and benefits of taking a specifically contrastive approach to information structure will be pointed out. Finally, some lines of argumentation and observations from the preceding chapters of the present volume that can be construed as instances of contrastive information structure analysis will be briefly recapitulated.
