- W2091781510 abstract "This paper presents a discourse-functional account of English inversion, based on an examination of a large corpus of nalturally-occurring tokens. It is argued that inversion serves an intormation-palckaiging tfunction, and that felicitous inversion depends on the relative discourse-familiarity of the information represented by the preposed and postposed constituents. The data moreover indicate that evoked elements and inferrable elements are treated alike with respect to inversion; both are treated as discourse-old information. Finally, it is suggested that discourse-familiarity correlates not with subjecthood, but rather with relative sentence position.* 1. INTROI)UCTION. It is well known that a speaker may exploit the interaction between discourse context and propositional meaning to give rise to conversational implicatures. That these implicatures are not tied to the form of the utterance is evidenced by the fact that the same proposition expressed in a different lexical or syntactic form will convey the same implicature (the property of 'nondetachability'; Grice 1975). A speaker may also, however, exploit the interaction between discourse context and syntactic form for the purpose of structuring the information represented by the utterance, either internally or with respect to other intformation believed to be (or desired to be, or soon to be) in the hearer's discourse model. That is, while natural languages provide their speakers with a variety of syntactic forms for conveying a single semantic proposition, the speaker's selection from among these options may serve an information-packaging function (Chafe 1976; cf. Vallduvi 1992, inter alia). A speaker's use of a syntactic construction with a particular function, then, will license the hearer to infer that the relationship between the information represented by the utterance and other information in the discourse is appropriate" @default.
