Contrastive, given, new - encoding varieties of topic and focus
This collection brings together recent work on the morphosyntax and phonology of different types of topics and foci, emphasizing the roles played by contrast and the given-new distinction when combined with the well-known concepts of topic and focus, addressing the finer details of these notions as well as possible effects of interactions.
