Binding Domains: Anaphoric and Pronominal Pronouns in Categorial Grammar
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we present a treatment for anaphoric pronouns and reflexives in a Type Logical Grammar. To this end, we introduce structural modalities into the left pronominal rule of the categorial calculus with limited contraction LLC [8]. Following a proposal due to Hepple [6], we also sketch an analysis for the long-distance anaphora seg from Icelandic.

Overtly Anaphoric Control in Type Logical Grammar
In this paper we analyse anaphoric pronouns in control sentences and we investigate the implications of these kinds of sentences in relation to the Propositional Theory versus Property Theory question. For these purposes, we invoke the categorial calculus with limited contraction, a conservative extension of Lambek calculus that builds contraction into the logical rules for a customized slash t...
متن کاملAnaphora and Quantification in Categorial Grammar
The paper proposes a type logical reformulation of Jacobson’s ([9]) treatment of anaphoric dependencies in Categorial Grammar. To this end, the associative Lambek Calculus is extended with a new connective. In the first part, its proof theory is introduced and the logical properties of the resulting calculus are discussed. In the second part, this system is applied to several linguistic phenome...
متن کاملAre Pronouns Always Zero in Zero Pronominal Languages? : The Case in Japanese
This paper presents the results of a comparative text analysis of English anaphoric pronouns & their Japanese counterparts. It first demonstrates that although anaphoric pronouns in English are often compared to zero pronominals in Japanese, not all, but only some, of the English anaphoric pronouns have their counterparts in zero pronominals in the same context in Japanese, and then argues that...
متن کاملCoordination of Standard Arabic Subject Markers: Implementing the Agreement Asymmetries in the ACCG Framework
In Standard Arabic, object markers and subject markers behave differently, although they share some properties. We are concerned here by their morphosyntactic status; whether they are arguments or agreement markers. The status of object markers is not an issue by itself, but the status of subject markers is one. The agreement asymmetries lead us to stipulate that, when subject markers are doubl...
متن کاملDoubled Clitics are Pronouns: Amharic Objects (and Beyond)
Controversy and uncertainty have plagued the question of whether “object markers” (OMs) are object pronouns cliticized to the verb or realizations of object agreement. Using data from Amharic, we address this question from a new perspective. Specifically, we claim that Amharic OMs should be analyzed as clitics because they are unable to double nominals that are quantified, anaphoric, or contain...
