Information flow

Information flow

In discourse-based grammatical theory, information flow is any tracking of referential information by speakers. Information flow affects grammatical structures such as
*word order (topic, focus, and afterthought constructions)
*active, passive, or middle voice
*choice of deixis, such as articles; proximal, medial, and distal deictics such as Spanish "este, ese, aquel", are often determined by the familiarity of a referent as much as by physical distance
*overtness of information, such as whether an argument of a verb is indicated by a lexical noun phrase, a pronoun, or not mentioned at all.
