Match the information-structure configurations in Column
I with the prosodic interpretations in Column II.
COLUMN I
1.Broad focus. 2.Narrow focus. 3.Corrective focus. 4.Deaccenting of given information.
COLUMN II
( ) Prominence is concentrated on a constituent that replaces or rejects an explicitly activated alternative in the preceding discourse.
( ) Previously established material receives reduced prominence because it contributes relatively little new information.
( ) A relatively large constituent, potentially the entire proposition, is presented as new information without contrast being restricted to one lexical item.
( ) Prominence identifies one constituent as the principal informational contribution while the remainder is treated as backgrounded or presupposed.
The correct sequence, from top to bottom, is:
