Meeting Description:
The aim of this conference is to provide a forum for the presentation of
original research that addresses empirical or theoretical questions of
information structure from an explicitly contrastive perspective. The range of
languages to be dealt with is not restricted, but we would prefer to have at
least one of the languages to be contrasted to be English, German, French,
Italian, or Spanish. (For a more detailed description see below, or the
conference website at www.cisa-2008.de.)
