The first paper on "Biased Questions" is an invited contribution by Nicholas Asher (CNRS, Laboratoire IRIT) \& Brian Reese (University of Texas at Austin). Surveying English tag questions, negative polar questions, and what they term "focus" questions, they investigate the effects of prosody on discourse function and discourse structure and analyze the interaction between prosody and discourse in SDRT (Segmented Discourse Representation Theory). Stefan Hinterwimmer (A2) explores the interpretation of singular definites and universally quantified DPs in adverbially quantified English sentences. He suggests that the availability of a co-varying interpretation is more constrained in the case of universally quantified DPs than in the case of singular definites, because different from universally quantified DPs, co-varying definites are inherently focus-marked. The existence of striking similarities between topic/comment structure and bimanual coordination is pointed out and investigated by Manfred Krifka (A2). Showing how principles of bimanual coordination influence the expression of topic/comment structure beyond spoken language, he suggests that bimanual coordination might have been a preadaptation of the development of Information Structure in human communication. Among the different ways of expressing focus in Foodo, an underdescribed African Guang language of the Kwa family, the marked focus constructions are the central topic of the paper by Ines Fiedler (B1 \& D2). Exploring the morphosyntactic facilities that Foodo has for focalization, she suggests that the two focus markers N and n have developed out of a homophone conjunction. Focus marking in another scarcely documented African tone language, the Gur language Konkomba, is treated by Anne Schwarz (B1 \& D2). Comparing the two alleged focus markers l{\´e} and l{\´a} of the language, she argues that l{\´e} is better interpreted as a syntactic device rather than as a focus marker and shows that this analysis is corroborated by parallels in related languages. The reflexes of Information Structure in four different European languages (French, German, Greek and Hungarian) are compared and validated by Sam Hellmuth \& Stavros Skopeteas (D2). The production data was collected with selected materials of the Questionnaire on Information Structure (QUIS) developed at the SFB. The results not only allow for an evaluation of the current elicitation paradigms, but also help to identify potentially fruitful venues of future research. Frank K{\"u}gler, Stavros Skopeteas (D2) \& Elisabeth Verhoeven (University of Bremen) give an account of the encoding of Information Structure in Yucatec Maya, a Mayan tone language spoken on the Yucatecan peninsula in Mexico. The results of a production experiment lead them to the conclusion that focus is mainly expressed by syntax in this language. Stefanie Jannedy (D3) undertakes an instrumental investigation on the expressions and interpretation of focus in Vietnamese, a language of the Mon-Khmer family contrasting six lexical tones. The data strongly suggests that focus in Vietnamese is exclusively marked by prosody (intonational emphasis expressed via duration, f0 and amplitude) and that different focus conditions can reliably be recovered. This volume offers insights into current work conducted at the SFB 632, comprising empirical and theoretical aspects of Information Structure in a multitude of languages. Several of the papers mine field work data collected during the first phase of the SFB and explore the expression of Information Structure in tone and non-tone languages from various regions of the world.}, language = {en} } @book{BarthWeingarten2016, author = {Barth-Weingarten, Dagmar}, title = {Intonation Units Revisited}, series = {Studies in Language and Social Interaction ; 29}, journal = {Studies in Language and Social Interaction ; 29}, publisher = {John Benjamins Publishing Company}, address = {Amsterdam}, isbn = {978-90-272-6690-3}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {318}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Intonation units have been notoriously difficult to identify in natural talk. Problems include fuzzy boundaries, lack of exhaustivity, and the potential circularity involved when studying their interface with other language-organizational dimensions. This volume advocates a way to resolve such problems: the cesura approach. Cesuras, or breaks in the flow of talk, are created by discontinuities in the prosodic-phonetic parameters of speech that cluster to various extents at certain points in time. Using conversation-analytic and interactional-linguistic methodology, the volume identifies the parameters creating cesuras in talk-in-interaction and proposes ways to notate them depending on the researcher s goal. It also offers a way to study the role of cesuras at the prosody-syntax interface non-circularly, which leads to new insights concerning language variation and change. The volume will thus be of major import to anyone working with natural spoken language, its chunks, its various dimensions, and its variation and change."}, language = {en} } @book{Blaszczak2001, author = {Blaszczak, Joanna}, title = {Investigation into the interaction between the indefinites and negation}, series = {Studia grammatica}, volume = {51}, journal = {Studia grammatica}, publisher = {Akad.-Verl.}, address = {Berlin}, isbn = {3-05-003671-0}, pages = {XV, 469 S.}, year = {2001}, language = {en} } @book{Fery2001, author = {F{\´e}ry, Caroline}, title = {Markedness, Faithfulness, Vowel Quality and Syllable Structure in French}, series = {Phonology in Potsdam}, journal = {Phonology in Potsdam}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-935024-37-2}, pages = {1 -- 32}, year = {2001}, language = {en} } @book{OPUS4-40202, title = {MicroBerl{\´i}n - de minificciones y microrrelatos}, series = {Bibliotheca Ibero-Americana ; 161}, journal = {Bibliotheca Ibero-Americana ; 161}, editor = {Ette, Ottmar and Ingenschay, Dieter and Schmidt-Welle, Friedhelm and Valls, Fernando}, publisher = {Iberoamericana}, address = {Madrid}, isbn = {978-84-8489-929-7}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {314}, year = {2015}, abstract = {Este volumen se ha propuesto incluir no solamente los debates te{\´o}ricos y metodol{\´o}gicos con respecto a la posible definici{\´o}n del microrrelato como "cuarto g{\´e}nero" y los diversos an{\´a}lisis sobre el desarrollo y la historia del mismo, sino tambi{\´e}n relacionar la minificci{\´o}n literaria con otras pr{\´a}cticas simb{\´o}licas (como las minificciones cinematogr{\´a}ficas, etc.), y considerar las nuevas posibilidades de difusi{\´o}n de la minificci{\´o}n en los medios masivos de comunicaci{\´o}n y, sobre todo, en las redes sociales (Facebook, Twitter) y en el Internet en general.

One of the goals of this meeting was to bring together scholars working in various frameworks (with emphasis on the Minimalist Program and Optimality Theory) and to discuss matters concerning descriptive and empirical adequacy. Another explicit goal was to discuss the question whether Minimalism and Optimality Theory should be considered incompatible and, hence, competing theories, or whether the two frameworks should rather be considered complementary in certain respects (see http://let.uvt.nl/deal05/call.html for the call for papers). Five of the seven papers in this volume directly grew out of the oral presentations given at the workshop. Although Vieri Samek-Lodovici's paper was not part of the workshop, it can also be considered a result of the workshop since it pulls together some of his many comments during the discussion time. The paper by Eva Engels and Sten Vikner discusses a phenomenon that received much interest from both minimalist and optimality theoretic syntax in the recent years, Scandinavian object shift. The paper may serve as a practical example for a claim that is repeatedly made in this volume: minimalist and OT analyses, even where they might be competing, can fruitfully inform each other in a constructive manner, leading to a deeper understanding of syntactic phenomena.}, language = {en} } @book{OPUS4-17361, title = {Papers from the workshop 'Languages change from a generative perspektive'}, editor = {Alexiadou, Artemis and Fischer, Susann and Stravrou, Melita}, publisher = {Univ.-Bibliothek Publ.-Stelle}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-935024-56-3}, issn = {1616-7392}, pages = {206}, year = {2002}, language = {en} } @book{OPUS4-19419, title = {Papers on the Interpretation of Case}, volume = {10}, editor = {Kracht, Marcus and Strigin, Anatoli}, publisher = {Univ.-Bibliothek Publikationsstelle}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-935024-18-1}, issn = {1616-7392}, pages = {107 S.}, year = {2000}, language = {en} } @book{OPUS4-17948, title = {Proceedings of HILP 5}, editor = {F{\´e}ry, Caroline and Green Dubach, Antony and van de Vijver, Ruben}, publisher = {Univ.-Bibliothek Publ.-Stelle}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-935024-27-3}, issn = {1616-7392}, pages = {232 S.}, year = {2001}, language = {en} } @book{OPUS4-17295, title = {Proceedings of the 12th student conference on computational linguistics (TaCoS 2000)}, editor = {Reitter, David}, publisher = {Univ.}, address = {Potsdam}, issn = {1610-7993}, pages = {54 S.}, year = {2002}, language = {en} } @book{OPUS4-2260, title = {Proceedings of the 2nd Workshop on Prosody, Syntax, and Information Structure (WPSI 2)}, editor = {Ishihara, Shinichiro and Petrova, Svetlana and Schwarz, Anne}, issn = {1866-4725}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-22234}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, year = {2007}, abstract = {This volume contains the proceedings of the 2nd Workshop on Prosody, Syntax, and Information Structure (WPSI2), held at University of Potsdam on March 18, 2005.
