Based on discourse contexts, the project examines the contribution of information structure [=IS] to the variability of complex sentences in the older Indo-European languages, i.e., Indo-Aryan, Avestan, Hittite/Luwian, Greek, and Latin, from a synchronic and a diachronic perspective. Regarding synchronic aspects, it deals with the question as to whether, next to a primary structuring of information, there is a secondary structuring within complex sentences. Regarding diachronic aspects, the project examines, by comparing texts belonging to different language periods, which covariance from IS and other features in complex sentences leads to historic changes and cross-linguistic development tendencies. For this purpose, coherent texts, which are annotated multimodally by using IS- and syntax-relevant as well as philological and grammatical criteria, will be transferred into the ANNIS database, where they will be accessible and usable for further research (historical syntax, corpus linguistics, philology etc.). In the project proposed, we are planning to expand the material basis with texts from younger language periods, sc. Middle Indo-Aryan, Middle Greek and Late Latin. The results of this phase will be compared with those from the first phase, whereby generalizations of the observed language change processes will be possible. The additional annotations will be transferred into the ANNIS database as well. In a book publication the data will be evaluated and explained.

基于语篇语境，该项目考察了信息结构[=IS]对较古老的印欧语言中复句变异性的贡献，即，印度-雅利安语，阿维斯陀语，赫梯/卢威语，希腊语和拉丁语，从共时和历时的角度。关于共时方面，它涉及的问题，是否有一个主要结构的信息，有一个二级结构内复杂的句子。在历时方面，该项目通过比较属于不同语言时期的文本，考察了复杂句中IS和其他特征的协变性导致了历史变化和跨语言发展趋势。为此目的，连贯的文本，这是多模态注释使用IS-和句法相关以及语言学和语法标准，将被转移到ANNIS数据库，在那里他们将是可访问的和可用于进一步的研究（历史句法，语料库语言学，语言学等）。在拟议的项目中，我们计划扩大材料基础，从较年轻的语言时期，sc。中印度-雅利安语，中希腊语和晚期拉丁语的文本。这一阶段的结果将与第一阶段的结果进行比较，从而有可能概括所观察到的语言变化过程。其他注释也将被转移到ANNIS数据库中。在一本书的出版物中，将对数据进行评估和解释。
