Processing Reflexives and Pronouns in Picture Noun Phrase
Binding theory (e.g., Chomsky, 1981) has played a central role in both syntactic theory and models of language processing. Its constraints are designed to predict that the referential domains of pronouns and reflexives are nonoverlapping, that is, are complementary; these constraints are also thought to play a role in online reference resolution. The predictions of binding theory and its role i...

متن کاملAssignment of reference to reflexives and pronouns in picture noun phrases: evidence from eye movements.
Most structural Binding Theories predict a complementary distribution between reflexives and pronouns in picture noun phrases containing possessors (e.g. "Ken's picture of himself/him"). In two head-mounted eye-tracking experiments, listeners frequently violated Binding Theory predictions for reflexives, often interpreting the reflexives as taking an antecedent outside of the binding domain, an...
متن کاملA cross-linguistic investigation of pronouns and reflexives: Experiments on picture NPs in English and beyond
In this talk, I present a series of cross-linguistic experiments that investigate the interpretation of different anaphoric forms in representational noun phrases (e.g., picture NPs such as picture of her/herself). I’ll present psycholinguistic data from three Germanic languages, namely English, Dutch, German, as well as results from Finnish, a non-Indo-European language. Broadly speaking, thes...
متن کاملSemantic Effects on Pronouns and Reflexives in Picture-NPs: Similarities and Differences
Research on Binding Theory shows that the syntactically-conditioned complementarity normally exhibited by pronouns and reflexives breaks down in certain syntactic environments, including possessorless picture-NPs (e.g. picture of {her/herself}). We report two psycholinguistic experiments which investigate what kinds of factors influence how pronouns and reflexives in picture-NPs are interpreted...
