Abstract

direct object| ra| information structure| Role and Reference Grammars are encoded via specific grammatical tools in Persian. Usingdirect object| ra| information structure| Role and Reference Grammarndom data mostly from colloquial Persian (and written Persian in case of need), the author first intend to introduce these tools. Employing the Layered Structure of the Clause and Focus Structure as defined indirect object| ra| information structure| Role and Reference Grammar, the author proceeds to formally represent the tools via syntactic templates that contain information-structural properties of the direct object| ra| information structure| Role and Reference Grammar. We learn that the hypothesis regarding the direct object| ra| information structure| Role and Reference Grammar being a secondary topic marker in the spirit ofdirect object| ra| information structure| Role and Reference Grammar-marking (Dabir-Moghaddam, 2006) needs to be discarded. Information-structurally, not only is the direct object| ra| information structure| Role and Reference Grammar qualified to be part of the pragmatic presupposition, hence serving as the topic of the sentence, it is also licensed to constitute a narrow focus by itself or to participate in predicate and sentence focus structures. This originates from the fact that-ra in Persian signals the identifiability of the object’ s referent in the interlocutors’ discourse universe. It is also proposed that the bi-fold classification of a narrow focus into in-situ information focus and ex-situ contrastive focus does not only apply to the narrow focus in the spirit of Persian data. A predicate focus can be contrastive when adirect object| ra| information structure| Role and Reference Grammar-marked object residing at the Pre-Core Slot is disjoined from the transitive predicate by an intervening subject. In actuality, this discontinuous predicate focus structure is ‘ construed’ as a contrastive narrow focus.
