Given-new Information

Given-New Information is a discourse structuring principle within pragmatic theory that distinguishes between information presumed to be recoverable or accessible in the linguistic or cognitive context (given) and information that is newly introduced or asserted (new), thereby guiding the incremental interpretation of utterances in discourse processing.
