Following Grice's (1967) Given-New Contract (Clark and Haviland, 1974, in press; Haviland and Clark, 1974) . English assertions draw a distinction between two kinds of information they convey, a distinction carried by the syntax and intonation alone. The first kind of information has been called Given information, since it is conventionally required to convey information the listener already knows; and the second kind has been called New information, since it is conventionally required to convey information that the listener doesn't yet know but that the speaker would like to get across. to that person by the Given information X l~ft and that the listener was supposed to figure this out by drawing this inference.", |
