초록
Numerous studies have focused on syntactic structures or definiteness effect of there construction and there have been quite a few attempts to deal with the construction in terms of information structure. This paper presents an account of the there construction of which the logical subject represents a hearer-new information regardless of its definiteness. All of the data shown are collected from Corpus of Contemporary American English(COCA) and the total number of corpus excerpts is 1,500 of ‘there’s’, ‘there is’ and ‘there are’ and each of them have 500 excerpts, respectively. Among those, 70 cases have definite logical subjects and 69 of them successfully apply to five types that Ward & Birner(1995) identified: ‘hearer-old entities treated as hearer-new’, ‘hearer-new tokens of hearer-old types’, ‘hearer-old entities newly instantiating a variable’, ‘hearer-new entities with uniquely identifying descriptions’and ‘false definites.’ The one sentence left is to be categorized as the new sixth type ‘hearer-new entities as a contrastive focus’
