Abstract

This paper attempts at analyzing the information structure of an economic text with the use of the quaestio model. The quaestio constrains the topic-focus structure of particular utterances as well as the manner in which information is carried from one utterance to the next. At the same time, it outlines the overall structure of the text, describes which expressions in the text form its main structure, and which belong to the side structure.

Keywords:

information structure, quaestio model, main structure, side structure, referential movement
