This shows in categories like topic-comment structuring focus to highlight expressions marking of givenness and of presupposed information and ways to indicate that the information provided is restricted. The book relates infor-mation structure to theoretical models of grammar to computation and modelling and brings together what is known about the expression of information structure in human language with regard to its empirical investigation its psycholinguistic aspects and the acquisition of information structure. Since the need to integrate what is said into the informational and attentional state of the addressee is central to all human communication it is not surprising that all natural languages have developed devices to express information structural cate-gories. Toillustrate this the book also provides concrete and theory independent descriptions of the information structural encoding strategies of individual languages of different types .
