So far, the syntactic contribution of this type of feature has mostly been reduced to movement of topics or foci clause-initial position. Here, the author looks at a different phenomenon, syntactic agreement, and how this process can be dependent on information-structural properties. Based partly on original fieldwork from a typologically diverse set of languages, including Tagalog, Swahili, and Lavukaleve, it is argued that for most areas for which information-structural features have been discussed, it is possible to find cases where these features influence phi-feature agreement. The analysis is then extended to cases of Association with Focus, which does not involve phi-features but can still be accounted for with agreement of information-structural features. The book achieves two main goals: first it provides a uniform analysis for different constructions in unrelated languages. Second, it also gives a new argument that information-structural features should be treated as genuine syntactic features"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aLinguistik Aktuell/Linguistics Today 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xSyntax 606 $aDiscourse markers 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xParticles 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xSyntax. 615 0$aDiscourse markers. 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xParticles. 676 $a415 700 $aMursell$b Johannes$01629680 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827044503321 996 $aSyntax of information-structural agreement$93967563 997 $aUNINA
