Perspective-shifting and anaphora: Experimental investigations
Many aspects of language comprehension are dependent on the identification of a perspectival/point-of-view anchor, who provides the perspectival center for interpreting the content of an utterance. To fully interpret epithets (ex.1a), evaluative adjectives (ex.1b), predicates of personal taste (ex.1c), epistemic modals (ex.1d) and adverbials of possibility (ex.1e), we need to know whose opinion...
متن کاملA Syntactic Filter on Pronomial Anaphora for Slot Grammar
We propose a syntactic falter for identifying non-coreferential pronoun-NP pairs within a sentence. The filter applies to the output of a Slot Grammar parser and is formulated m terms of the head-argument structures which the parser generates. It liandles control and unbounded dependency constructions without empty categories or binding chains, by virtue of the uniticational nature of the parse...
متن کاملDynamic Representation of Nominal Anaphora without Syntactic Indexing
The main goal of the work presented here is the construction of fully compositional representation of nominal anaphora in discourse. The proposed representation does not depend on the remote ascription (done outside the formal representation) of syntactic indexes, identifying anaphoric links. A formal language, based on dynamic semantics paradigm and being a variant of many-sorted type logic, i...
متن کاملOn The Syntactic-Semantic Analysis Of Bound Anaphora
Two well-known phenomena in the area of pronoun binding are considered: Indirect binding of pronouns by indefinite NPs ("donkey sentences") and surfacesyntactic constraints on binding ("weak cross-over"). A common t rea tment is proposed, and general consequences for the relation between syntactic and semantic processing are discussed. It is argued that syntactic and semantic analysis must inte...
متن کاملEarly syntactic productivity: evidence from dative shift.
The abstractness of children's early syntactic representations has been questioned in the recent acquisition literature. While some research has suggested that children's knowledge of basic constructions such as the transitive is robust and abstract at a very young age, other work has proposed that young children only have constructions that are specific to individual lexical items. The present...
