In doing so, it details the variety of ways in which information can be 'given' or 'new' and shows how an understanding of this variety allows us to account for the distribution of these constructions in discourse. Moreover, the authors show that there exist broad and empirically verifiable functional correspondences within classes of 410 0$aStudies in language companion series ;$vv. 40. 606 $aEnglish language$xWord order 606 $aEnglish language$xDiscourse analysis 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish language$xWord order. 615 0$aEnglish language$xDiscourse analysis. 676 $a401/.41 700 $aBirner$b Betty J$0282987 701 $aWard$b Gregory L$0282988 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461431703321 996 $aInformation status and noncanonical word order in english$9668636 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01637oam 2200481zu 450 001 996205467603316 005 20210807003004.0 035 $a(CKB)1000000000709747 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000395611 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12102797 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000395611 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10454206 035 $a(PQKB)11316762 035 $a(OPTICAL)18&yr=2008 035 $a(OPTICAL)19&yr=2008 035 $a(OPTICAL)5&yr=2008 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000709747 100 $a20160829d2008 uy 101 0 $aeng 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$a2008 Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics & Quantum Electronics and Laser Science Conference : San Jose, CA, 4-9 May, 2008 210 31$a[Place of publication not identified]$cIEEE Service Center$d2008 300 $aBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph 311 $a1-55752-859-4 606 $aLasers$vCongresses 606 $aElectrooptics$vCongresses 606 $aElectrooptical devices$vCongresses 606 $aEngineering & Applied Sciences$2HILCC 606 $aApplied Physics$2HILCC 615 0$aLasers 615 0$aElectrooptics 615 0$aElectrooptical devices 615 7$aEngineering & Applied Sciences 615 7$aApplied Physics 676 $a621.36/6 712 12$aConference on Lasers and Electro-optics 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aPROCEEDING 912 $a996205467603316 996 $a2008 Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics & Quantum Electronics and Laser Science Conference : San Jose, CA, 4-9 May, 2008$92505375 997 $aUNISA
