This collection of papers celebrates the work of Jeanette K. Gundel, who has contributed to the field of the grammar-pragmatics interface through her
publications on the syntactic realization of topic and comment and the cognitive status of referring expressions, as well as by inspiring colleagues to
make contributions to the overall field of pragmatics.
This volume collects together papers from colleagues and former students on pragmatics and syntax, pragmatics and reference, and pragmatics and social
variables. The volume includes papers devoted to explicating the grammar-pragmatics interface, with the focus of the papers ranging from Gricean and
post-Gricean pragmatics, construction grammar, and genre theory to formal semantics, as well as papers devoted to expanding on Gundel's own original
approach to factors such as the cognitive status decisions underlying speakers' choice of referring expression and the topic and focus decisions underlying
speakers' choice of syntactic construction.
