Dependency of Long-Distance Reflexives

This paper aims to account for dependency of long-distance anaphors within the derivational approach. Dependency between the antecedent and the anaphor is determined by the universal operations, Merge, Move and Agree. Following Hornstein (2001) and Zwart (2002), anaphors in Korean, Chinese, and Japanese are argued to merge with antecedents to obtain anaphoricity. How such a merged complex parti...

Indexicals as Token-Reflexives

Reichenbachian approaches to indexicality contend that indexicals are "token-reflexives": semantic rules associated with any given indexical-type determine the truth-conditional import of properly produced tokens of that type relative to certain relational properties of those tokens. Such a view may be understood as sharing the main tenets of Kaplan's well-known theory regarding content, or tru...

Reflexives and TAG Semantics

Nesson and Shieber (2006) argue that the synchronous TAG (STAG) formalism provides an empirically adequate, yet formally restrictive solution to the problem of associating semantic interpretations with TAG derivations. In this paper, I further explore this approach, focusing on the semantics of reflexives. I find that STAG indeed permits a simple analysis of core cases of reflexives. This analy...
