Formal Linking in Internally-Headed Relatives
This paper aims to clarify and resolve issues surrounding the so-called formal linking problem in interpreting the Internally Headed Relative Clause construction in Korean and Japanese, a problem that has been identified in recent E-type pronominal treatments of the construction (e.g., Hoshi 1995, Shimoyama 1999). In the literature, this problem refers to the difficulty of capturing the delimit...

This is partly because there have been no grammars precise enough to allow deep processing of the construction’s syntactic and semantic properties. This ...
