Reference and Cognitive Status: Scalar Inference and Typology -- 3. Saliency in discourse and sentence form: Zero anaphora and topicalization in Japanese -- 4. An Overview of Information Structure in three Amazonian Languages -- II. IS and Spoken language -- 5. Micro-variation in information structure: There sentences in Italo-Romance -- 6. How does adjacency arise? Grammatical conditions on focus-verb adjacency in Basque -- 7. Detached NPs with relative clauses in Finnish conversations -- 8. Tag questions and focus markers: Evidence from the Tompo dialect of Even -- 9. Syntactic and Prosodic Marking of Contrastiveness in Spoken Chinese -- 10.

Summary: Information structure and the organization of oral texts have been rarely studied crosslinguistically. This book contains studies of the grammatical organization of information in languages from different areas (e.g. Amazonian, Finno-Ugric, South-Asian) from a variety of theoretical angles. It will be a valuable resource for researchers investigating the interaction of morphosyntax and discourse in familiar and less familiar languages.
