The Dynamics of a Japanese Reflexive Pronoun
This paper is concerned with the interpretation of the ‘longdistance reflexive’ zibun. I propose a new way to handle this item designed to account for intersentential binding facts. The account is couched within a version of dynamic semantics enriched with a notion of perspective. In the final part of the paper I show that this approach can be extended to account for intrasententially bound and...
متن کاملStructure of Perspectivity: A Case of Japanese Reflexive Pronoun “dwP
Yasuhiro Katagiri NTT Basic Research Laboratories Midori-cho, Musashino, Tokyo, 180 Japan katagiri%[email protected] A theory of perspectivity is proposed to establish the foundation of the theory of situated agents. An account is then given, based on the theory of perspectivity, of the use of a seemingly perspectivity related expression, Japanese long-range reflexive “zibun. ” The theor...
متن کامل2 on the Interaction of Morphology and Syntax
The purpose of this study is to develop a theory 0 ...· the interaction of morphology and syntax in Japanese based on the hypothesis that all derivational word formation is accomplished prior to lexical insertion. This involves the assumption that entities such as sase (the causative morpheme) are verbal suffixes and not independent verbs. • Numerous phenomena that interact with the sase-type c...
متن کاملFinite iterative methods for solving systems of linear matrix equations over reflexive and anti-reflexive matrices
A matrix $Pintextmd{C}^{ntimes n}$ is called a generalized reflection matrix if $P^{H}=P$ and $P^{2}=I$. An $ntimes n$ complex matrix $A$ is said to be a reflexive (anti-reflexive) matrix with respect to the generalized reflection matrix $P$ if $A=PAP$ ($A=-PAP$). In this paper, we introduce two iterative methods for solving the pair of matrix equations $AXB=C$ and $DXE=F$ over reflexiv...
متن کاملIterative algorithm for the generalized $(P,Q)$-reflexive solution of a quaternion matrix equation with $j$-conjugate of the unknowns
In the present paper, we propose an iterative algorithm for solving the generalized $(P,Q)$-reflexive solution of the quaternion matrix equation $overset{u}{underset{l=1}{sum}}A_{l}XB_{l}+overset{v} {underset{s=1}{sum}}C_{s}widetilde{X}D_{s}=F$. By this iterative algorithm, the solvability of the problem can be determined automatically. When the matrix equation is consistent over...
