"In many languages, the objects of transitive verbs are either marked by grammatical
case or agreement on the verb, or they remain unmarked: this is differential object
marking. This book is a cross-linguistic study of how differential object marking
is affected by information structure, the structuring of the utterance in accordance
with the informational value of its elements and contextual factors. Marked objects
tend to be associated with old information or information that the sentence is about,
while unmarked objects tend to express new information. The book also sheds light
on grammatical patterning in languages with differential object marking: in some languages
marked and unmarked objects have identical grammatical properties, whereas in other
languages marked objects are more active in syntax. Finally, it provides a theory
of the historical changes that lead to the emergence of various patterns of differential
object marking"--
