First published in 1983, this book examines anaphora - a central issue in linguistic theory as it lies at the crossroads of several major problems. It is a test case for competing hypothesis concerning the relations between syntax, semantics and pragmatics in linguistic theory. This book has two major goals: firstly, a comprehensive analysis of sentence-level anaphora that addresses questions of semantic interpretation and syntactical structure, and secondly, an examination of the broader issues of the relations between the structural properties of sentences and their semantic interpretation…mehr
First published in 1983, this book examines anaphora - a central issue in linguistic theory as it lies at the crossroads of several major problems. It is a test case for competing hypothesis concerning the relations between syntax, semantics and pragmatics in linguistic theory. This book has two major goals: firstly, a comprehensive analysis of sentence-level anaphora that addresses questions of semantic interpretation and syntactical structure, and secondly, an examination of the broader issues of the relations between the structural properties of sentences and their semantic interpretation within the hypotheses of the autonomy of syntax and of interpretative semantics shown by Chomsky.
