It is important to consider both form and functions of language to conduct well-balanced linguistic research. These two aspects were often examined on separate planes, but the number of researches investigating them together has been increasing in recent years. Grammatical studies taking information structure into consideration can be conducted from various frameworks, on various languages, and in various fields of linguistics, and thus offer a testing ground for envisioning directions of future linguistic research. We welcome submission of original manuscripts dealing with ‘grammar and information structure’ in various approaches, and from various disciplines, both theoretical and descriptive.
