摘要

摘要本文研究了完整和简化的特定信息分裂的指称信息结构(IS),它作为一个独特的层与它们的关系IS相互作用。本研究利用伦敦隆德语料库的自发口语数据,考察了话语新信息和话语给定信息,即指称IS,分布在名词短语(NP)和关系从句中。为了评估名义指称和开放命题的话语熟悉度,我根据口语的预期动态,建立了一个基于信息可预测性的分析模型。研究结果表明,给定信息和新信息的分布比现有类型学中描述的更为多样。特别是,我们发现,迄今为止被忽视的模式,即价值和变量都是话语给定的,规范关系可能是新的或给定的,实际上是最常见的模式。研究结果还表明,在完全it和减少it之间的选择作为两个基本选项,只是部分受变量的话语熟悉度的驱动。对韵律编码的关系信息系统的分析表明,多个韵律模式可以映射到每一类裂隙上,从而表明将其裂隙的指称信息系统和关系信息系统混为一谈是站不住脚的。

Towards a new typology of the referential information structure of specificational it-clefts
Abstract This paper investigates the referential information structure (IS) of full and reduced specificational it-clefts, which interacts as a distinct layer with their relational IS. Drawing on spontaneous spoken data from the London-Lund Corpus, this study examines how discourse-new and discourse-given information, i.e., referential IS, is distributed over the clefted noun phrase (NP) and cleft-relative clause. To assess the discourse-familiarity of nominal referents and open propositions, I develop an analytical model hinging on the predictability of information in accordance with the prospective dynamic of spoken language. The findings show that the distribution of given and new information is more diverse than described in existing typologies. In particular, it is revealed that the hitherto overlooked pattern in which both value and variable are discourse-given and in which the specification relation may be new or given is in fact the most common one. The findings also show that the choice between full and reduced it-clefts as two basic options is only partly motivated by the discourse-familiarity of the variable. The analysis of the prosodically coded relational IS reveals that multiple prosodic patterns can be mapped onto each category of clefts, thus demonstrating that the conflation of the referential and relational IS of it-clefts is untenable.

期刊介绍: Text & Talk (founded as TEXT in 1981) is an internationally recognized forum for interdisciplinary research in language, discourse, and communication studies, focusing, among other things, on the situational and historical nature of text/talk production; the cognitive and sociocultural processes of language practice/action; and participant-based structures of meaning negotiation and multimodal alignment. Text & Talk encourages critical debates on these and other relevant issues, spanning not only the theoretical and methodological dimensions of discourse but also their practical and socially relevant outcomes.
