{"product_id":"the-meaning-of-topic-and-daniel-bring-9780415168977","title":"The Meaning of Topic and Focus: The 59th Street Bridge Accent","description":"This study provides an illuminating and ground-breaking account of the complex interaction of intonational phenomena, semantics and pragmatics. Based on examples from German and English, and centred on an analysis of the fall-rise intonation contour, a semantic interpretation for two different pitch accents - Focus and Topic - is developed. The cross-sentence, as well as the sentence internal semantic effects of these accents, follow from the given treatment. The account is based on Montogovian possible world semantics and Chomskian generative syntax.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel B?ing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 041516897X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415168977\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/09\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Daniel B?ing","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44149175812351,"sku":"9780415168977","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d1a31670-1378-49c9-bee6-edbbc0388c02.jpg?v=1688455237","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-meaning-of-topic-and-daniel-bring-9780415168977","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
