Résumé
What can information-structural categories tell us about discourse particles?This volume is concerned with the various interactions between Information Structure and thesyntax, semantics and pragmatics of those particles that take scope over the whole utterance or evenbeyond, and mark phenomena such as stance, speech act specification, Common GroundManagement or discourse structuration (Fernandez-Vest 1994). For clarity’s stake, all theseparticles will be labelled ‘discourse particles”. Several subtypes ought to be distinguisheddepending on the scope or on the precise function of these particles. Especially, modal particlestend to emerge as a special subgroup within the set of discourse particles or even discourse markers(for discussion, see Waltereit & Detges 2007 and the studies collected in Degand et al. 2013 orFedriani & Sansò 2017). As we shall see in the course of this volume, information-structuralcategories might actually be relevant tools to assess the relevance of such a distinction. But for now,we shall use ‘discourse particles’ as cover term for modal particles as they are known fromGermanic, sentential particles like Japanese sentence-final particles, and other illocutionaryparticles that might interact with Information Structure.
