    Focus at the syntax-semantics interface
    (2009) Riester, Arndt; Onea, Edgar (eds.)
    This volume contains a significant part of the talks presented at the Workshop on "Focus at the Syntax-Semantics Interface", which took place on April 6th-7th, 2008 at the University of Stuttgart. The aim of the workshop was to address some major semantic and syntactic issues of focus theory: focus representation, compositionality, focus interpretation, syntactic marking, presuppositions, focus sensitivity as well as focus movement. In addition, related phenomena such as the semantics of discourse particles and the relation between discourse prominence and case marking were raised.

    The RefLex scheme - annotation guidelines
    (Stuttgart : Universität Stuttgart, SFB, 2017) Riester, Arndt; Baumann, Stefan
    The purpose of the RefLex annotation scheme (Baumann and Riester 2012) is the two-dimensional analysis of textual or spoken corpus data with regard to referential information status (including coreference and bridging) as well as lexical information status (semantic relations). We provide some linguistic-philosophical background followed by detailed guidelines, which can be used in combination with various annotation tools.

    Stress test for relative clauses
    (2009) Riester, Arndt
    A brief overview on the semantic differences between restrictive and non-restrictive relative clauses is given. Subsequently differences with regard to information status and focus alternatives are presented. I investigate, in a systematic way, which focus (accent) patterns on relative-clause constructions are (im)possible in which contexts and why this is so. In order to account for the infelicity of certain restrictive relative clause constructions a new proposal is made how to derive the contrastive properties of complex definite descriptions (focus phrases) involving relative clauses. The account presented in this paper gives rise to predictions on intonational phonology and sentence processing.
