Common use of INTRODUCTORY REMARKS Clause in Contracts

INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. Most valuable for us are the observations reflected in lines 9 and 10 of Table 3. Line 9 summarizes the proportion of disagreements in the assignment of T and C on one hand, and F on the other; the proportion of disagreements between C and T relative to all disagreements can be found in line 10. Contrastive topic has been introduced into the theory only recently, and we are not yet able to determine all its properties and distributional characteristics. At the beginning its tagging was based to a certain extent on intuition, more detailed instructions were being developed only using the problematic issues encountered during the course of annotation. This has led us to pay an even increased attention to contrastive topic in our evaluation. It is important to note that the disagreements between C and F bear on a different problem – since focus can be understood as always involving some kind of contrast, a contextually bound item carrying a contrastive feature can be easily misunderstood as a part of focus. In spoken language, prosody can be taken as a helpful criterion (see Veselá et al., 2003).
