Abstract
The paper at hand deals with morphological marking of information structural relations from the perspective of
North-Western Siberian languages. Given many items (morphemes as well as particles and clitics) which have been analyzed as
markers of information structure in these languages, I try to discuss whether they indeed mark information structural relations or
whether this supposed marking is rather a side effect of other functions expressed. In order to develop criteria for decision
marking, I rely on the concepts of sufficiency as well as necessity and sufficient as well as necessary conditions, respectively.
Additionally, I argue that the latter can be arranged hierarchically with respect to their reliability for the evaluation of
potential markers of information structure, being intertwined with functional and transparency coding principles.
期刊介绍：
Studies in Language provides a forum for the discussion of issues in contemporary linguistics from discourse-pragmatic, functional, and typological perspectives. Areas of central concern are: discourse grammar; syntactic, morphological and semantic universals; pragmatics; grammaticalization and grammaticalization theory; and the description of problems in individual languages from a discourse-pragmatic, functional, and typological perspective. Special emphasis is placed on works which contribute to the development of discourse-pragmatic, functional, and typological theory and which explore the application of empirical methodology to the analysis of grammar.
