Krifka 2008), are topics in their own right that have often been investigated independently from each other (for instance, Potts\u2019s 2015 overview article of non-at-issue meaning barely touches on the topic of information structure). However, in recent approaches to discourse and in information structure, the focus has shifted onto the connection between (non-)at-issueness and an implicit or explicit Question Under Discussion (QUD, see Roberts 1996, 2012, B\u00fcring 2003), as in the work of Simons et al. (2011) and Tonhauser et al. (2013); from this perspective, at-issue content may be construed as content that is relevant to (answering) the current QUD.<br \/>\nIn this workshop, we explicitly focus on the interconnectedness of non-at-issue meanings (such as presuppositions and conventional implicatures) and information structure (i.e. topic, focus and givenness). We aim at doing so beyond (but not excluding) much-exploited connections such as the analysis of prosodic focus or sentential background as presupposition triggers (see S\u00e6b\u00f8 2016:129 for a recent handbook discussion). As a case in point, S\u00e6b\u00f8 (2016:141) emphasizes the plausibility that focus-background structuring of a sentence interacts, at least indirectly, with the presuppositions of that sentence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Organizers: Nadine Bade (ObTrEx), Patrick Grosz (UiO), Pritty Patel-Grosz (UiO), Uli Sauerland (SSI) Venue: University of Oslo, May 8-10 2017 Please find more detailed information and the call for paper at the workshop&#8217;s webpage!
