Bulgarian is a particularly felicitous target language for this type of study, since it possesses a rich inventory of available packaging techniques, ranging from zero reference, to various stressed and unstressed single forms, to actual doubled ("reduplicated") constructions. The study systematically addresses the need to avoid referential and grammatical ambiguity, and the crucial influence of emphasis. Another, and perhaps most interesting central factor is the status of what the communication is about, which is assessed on two different levels. The book makes use of data from both published Bulgarian fiction and naturally occurring oral conversations. The fundamental similarities between these modes of communication with respect to noun phrase selection is demonstrated, but explanations are also proposed for the observable differences. 410 0$aPragmatics & beyond ;$vnew ser. 102. 606 $aBulgarian language$xSyntax 606 $aBulgarian language$xTopic and comment 606 $aBulgarian language$xSemantics 606 $aFocus (Linguistics) 615 0$aBulgarian language$xSyntax. 615 0$aBulgarian language$xTopic and comment. 615 0$aBulgarian language$xSemantics. 615 0$aFocus (Linguistics) 676 $a491.8/15 700 $aLeafgren$b John$01801521 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910974208403321 996 $aDegrees of explicitness$94346795 997 $aUNINA
