Pronouns, presuppositions, and semantic variation
This paper addresses the question of whether and how the semantics of third-person pronouns can vary across languages. I investigate third-person non-demonstrative pronouns in St’át’imcets (Lillooet Salish), including null pro and its overt animate plural counterpart wit. I provide evidence for a striking cross-linguistic difference between the St’át’imcets pronouns and English ones: third-pers...

This paper discusses two theoretically challenging phenomena concerning the phi-features on plural pronouns: (i) ‘dependent plural pronouns’, i.e. plural pronouns that denote atomic individuals, and (ii) partial binding, i.e. plural pronouns with more than one antecedent.

متن کاملSemantic Typology and Parallel Corpora: Something about Indefinite Pronouns
Patterns of crosslinguistic variation in the expression of word meaning are informative about semantic organization, but most methods to study this are labor intensive and obscure the gradient nature of concepts. We propose an automatic method for extracting crosslinguistic co-categorization patterns from parallel texts, and explore the properties of the data as a potential source for automatic...
