Introduction. Generative diachronic syntax: word order and information structure
In recent times, there has been an increasing concern for the interaction between information structure and syntax, and its effect in language change.1 The aim of this volume is to provide the reader with comparative research into the role of information structure in language change from a crosslinguistic perspective and to contribute to a better understanding of structural changes and their possible relation to information structure factors. From a synchronic standpoint, information packaging is jointly conveyed by semantics, prosody and syntax. In contrast, diachronic linguistics lacks the evidence of prosodic information, but it can still rely on the relation between discourse semantics and syntax in old written texts, as well as on the comparison with synchronic data, to set light on the phenomena involved in syntactic changes driven by information structural configurations. Concerning language change, it is generally accepted that the focus of investigation is on I-language and that language acquirers select cues that are robustly represented in main clauses of the Primary Linguistic Data of their environment so
期刊介绍:
This journal publishes monographic volumes (under commision) that feature research papers devoted to the formal study of languages. The main purpose of the Catalan Journal of Linguistics (CatJL) is to publish research papers concerned with the structure of particular languages from the wider perspective of a general theory of the human language. Grown out of its predecessor, the Catalan Working Papers in Linguistics (CatWPL), this yearly publication is made possible thanks to the cooperation of the Centre de Lingüística Teòrica of the UAB with the Institut Interuniversitari de Filologia Valenciana.
