초록

It has long been debated whether meaning relations (MR), class of interpretative phenomena that includes bound variable anaphora, distributive readings, and coreference, are licensed by specific c-command configurations. As it turns out, both sides of this debate are correct; there are a multitude of underlying relations that can serve as sources for MR, at least one of which, but not all, relies on c-command. The other, non-c-command-based relations generally rely on semantic and/or pragmatic factors, such as topicality and genericity. A survey of these different MR-sources reveals that, while their interactions are complex, the influence of each can be isolated by applying the appropriate diagnostics and procedures. As such, it is possible to control these sources, and, in particular, to do so in such a way that those sources that do not rely on c-command are suppressed, which creates an environment in which MR-acceptability judgements are robustly informative about the underlying syntactic structure of a given utterance.

Abstract

It has long been debated whether meaning relations (MR), class of interpretative phenomena that includes bound variable anaphora, distributive readings, and coreference, are licensed by specific c-command configurations. As it turns out, both sides of this debate are correct; there are a multitude of underlying relations that can serve as sources for MR, at least one of which, but not all, relies on c-command. The other, non-c-command-based relations generally rely on semantic and/or pragmatic factors, such as topicality and genericity. A survey of these different MR-sources reveals that, while their interactions are complex, the influence of each can be isolated by applying the appropriate diagnostics and procedures. As such, it is possible to control these sources, and, in particular, to do so in such a way that those sources that do not rely on c-command are suppressed, which creates an environment in which MR-acceptability judgements are robustly informative about the underlying syntactic structure of a given utterance.
