초록
This paper investigates the anaphoric relations between pronouns and their antecedents with a focus on first-person and second-person pronouns. The apparent absence of antecedents for these pronouns makes it necessary to postulate a phrase that hosts the speaker and the hearer in the syntax so that these discourse elements can function as the antecedents for the relevant pronouns. Critically reviewing the proposal made in some previous studies for Speech Act Phrase above CP, the paper relabels this discourse- driven phrase as Discourse Phrase (DiscP) and presents pieces of empirical evidence from Japanese data in order to justify that DiscP in fact occupies a position below CP. It is subsequently argued that DiscP not only encodes the speaker and the hearer in a syntactic derivation but also plays a role in triggering pronoun alternations in English imperative sentences.
Abstract
This paper investigates the anaphoric relations between pronouns and their antecedents with a focus on first-person and second-person pronouns. The apparent absence of antecedents for these pronouns makes it necessary to postulate a phrase that hosts the speaker and the hearer in the syntax so that these discourse elements can function as the antecedents for the relevant pronouns. Critically reviewing the proposal made in some previous studies for Speech Act Phrase above CP, the paper relabels this discourse- driven phrase as Discourse Phrase (DiscP) and presents pieces of empirical evidence from Japanese data in order to justify that DiscP in fact occupies a position below CP. It is subsequently argued that DiscP not only encodes the speaker and the hearer in a syntactic derivation but also plays a role in triggering pronoun alternations in English imperative sentences.
