Information structure and syntactic change

Information Structure (IS) is claimed to impact word-order change. Solid empirical documentation on the relation between IS and word-order change is presented in this issue with reference to Germanic and Romance. The issue thus clarifies methodological and conceptual issues and articulates interface conditions between IS and syntactic change.
