The grammar of not-at-issue meaning (2/4)

In this lecture, I introduce the domain of not-at-issue meaning and deal with one of the paradigm examples of this domain: the cross-linguistic inventory of discourse particles. I will focus on phenomena where word order variation interacts with the interpretation of discourse particles, and I will connect my theoretical claims to phonetic production data.
