Interaction of Focus, Givenness, and Prosody - Samek-Lodovici, Vieri (Reader in Linguistics, Reader in Linguistics, University College London)

This book provides an in-depth investigation of contrastive focalization in Italian, showing that its syntactic expression systematically interacts with the syntactic expression of discourse-given phrases. It also provides the most comprehensive study of Italian marginalization and right dislocation available to date.
