(ProQuest: ... denotes non-US-ASCII text omitted.) This small volume, composed of a useful introduction and six substantive contributions, represents the first publication resulting from the collaboration of a group of researchers working on a diverse set of discourse markers described either as topicalisers or partition markers (referred to in English as meronomical markers). The initial application of the notion of partition was in relation to indefinite determiners or pronouns such as quelques: in an utterance such as Quelques élèves n'ont pas fait le devoir, quelques effects an operation of partition through the inference concerning the other pupils belonging to a larger set of pupils previously evoked, namely that they did not all do the assignment. Though the notions of topic and theme are often conflated, Theissen concludes that topicalisation, but not necessarily thematisation, always involves a modification of the order of sentence constituents; focalisation, on the other hand, is characterised primarily by its function of identifying a choice among the members of a paradigm, hence a notion of contrast.
