    Stream of consciousness → Information structure

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Stream of consciousness presents perceptions and thoughts from close to a character’s point of view. Information structure offers a way to ask what is treated as given, introduced as new or made prominent.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Information structure distinguishes material presented as given from material presented as new. Common ground helps explain why that distinction works for particular participants or breaks down.

    Extraposition → Information structure

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Extraposition can change the weight of material at the end of a sentence and affect how readers or listeners process it. Information structure helps explain how that material is presented as given, new or prominent. Other syntactic and processing factors may also favour end position.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Focalisation and information structure shape what is accessible at different levels. Focalisation governs access to knowledge in a narrative. Information structure presents individual elements as given, new or prominent.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Focus is one part of information structure. It can give material prominence or bring alternatives into play. Other distinctions explain how an utterance treats information as given or new and how it connects to what has already been said.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Information structure organises how content relates to the current state of a conversation. Focus is one part of that organisation and can involve prominence or alternatives.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Prosody can make differences in information structure audible. The same sequence of words can receive different patterns of prominence. Their interpretation depends on the language and the conversational context.

    Information structure → Common ground

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Speakers decide how to present information as given or new partly by anticipating what listeners already take for granted. The presentation reflects that assumption. Listeners may still have to infer or query what the speaker treats as familiar.

    Topicalization → Information structure

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Topicalisation is one way of organising information in an utterance. Information structure also includes distinctions and operations beyond placing a constituent at the front.
