Summary:In its present incarnation, the paper on Information Structure originally written in 1996 appears in the form in which it has been most circulated, a lightly revised version dating from 1998. These notes offer some background and history on the development of the framework discussed there, and a very brief overview of its subsequent development and my current views about the role of the context of utterance in interpretation. In the interest of brevity, I will not attempt to discuss all the details of the original paper which bear further consideration or revision-e.g. the details of the proposed treatment of prosodic focus. See the bibliography linked to Appendix A for subsequent discussions of many of these and other matters, by myself and others. Adapted from the source document
