Special attention is paid to the definition of topic, focus and contrast, to the language specific devices for expressing different types of these information structural notions, and to the typological characterisation of languages as to discourse configurationality. The investigation of grammatical relations includes the interplay between syntactic functions, morphological case and thematic structure, and the study of the functional and formal complexity of passive in Germanic languages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eContents:\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cb\u003eJorunn Hetland\u003c\/b\u003e\/\u003cb\u003eValéria Molnár\u003c\/b\u003e, Preface. - \u003cb\u003eJorunn Hetland\u003c\/b\u003e, Contrast, the fall-rise accent, and Information Focus. - \u003cb\u003eLars Heltoft\u003c\/b\u003e, Iconic and categorical focus systems in Scandinavian. - \u003cb\u003eMarja Järventausta\u003c\/b\u003e, Are Finnish null subjects topics? - \u003cb\u003eValéria Molnár\u003c\/b\u003e\/\u003cb\u003eMarja Järventausta\u003c\/b\u003e, Discourse configurationality in Finnish and Hungarian. - \u003cb\u003eJóhanna Bardal\u003c\/b\u003e, The relation between morphological case, syntactic functions and thematic roles in Icelandic: A frequency analysis. - \u003cb\u003eBarbro Landén\u003c\/b\u003e\/\u003cb\u003eValéria Molnár\u003c\/b\u003e, Passive as activity aspect.
