In this paper we review the current state of research on the issue of discourse
structure (DS)/information structure (IS) interface. This field has
received a lot of attention from discourse semanticists and pragmatists,
and has made substantial progress in recent years. In this paper we summarize
the relevant studies. In addition, we look at the issue of DS/ISinteraction
at a different level - that of phonetics. It is known that both
information structure and discourse structure can be realized prosodically,
but the issue of phonetic interaction between the prosodic devices
they employ has hardly ever been discussed in this context. We think
that a proper consideration of this aspect of DS/IS-interaction would
enrich our understanding of the phenomenon, and hence we formulate
some related research-programmatic positions.
