Abstract

Traditionally, anaphor resolution focused on structural cues of the antecedent. Recently, the interaction between discourse factors and information structure affecting antecedent salience has been more thoroughly explored. This volume depicts selected peer-reviewed research papers that tackle issues in anaphor resolution from theoretical, empirical and experimental perspectives. These collected articles present a wide spectrum of cross-linguistic data (Dutch, German, Spanish, Turkish, Yurakaré) and also offer new results from L1 and L2 acquisition studies. Data interpretation span from typological to psycholinguistic viewpoints and are related to recent developments in linguistic theory. One data analysis puts the issue of anaphor resolution in a historical context. The experimental findings are complemented by reviews of the current literature on the role of discourse units.This volume gives a comprehensive overview of the state of discussion how the interaction between information structure and contextual discourse affects salience. That's why it will be welcomed by all linguists and psycholinguists who are theoretically and / or experimentally investigating several aspects of anaphor resolution.

Abstract

Ce livre est une initiation à la syntaxe générative chomskyenne spécialement conçu pour les linguistes et apprentis-linguistes formés dans la tradition grammaticale francophone. Le thème de l’anaphore fournit un excellent prétexte pour une tentative de vulgarisation puisque, déjà familier aux spécialistes d’énonciation, de sémantique et de pragmatique, il est aussi l’un des principaux centres d’intérêt de la syntaxe générative, qui leur consacre un module spécifique de son programme de recherche : la théorie du liage. Les sept premiers chapitres conduisent à la formulation standard de la théorie du liage. Le chapitre 8 retrace à grands traits l’histoire des hypothèses génératives concernant la structure en constituants, dont la théorie du liage est crucialement solidaire. Le chapitre 9 passe en revue un certain nombre de problèmes mis à jour depuis la version standard de la théorie. Chacun des chapitres 1 à 8 est suivi d’exercices corrigés qui récapitulent les dernières hypothèses introduites et annoncent les suivantes. L’ensemble est complété par un index notionnel, et par un glossaire français-anglais destiné à faciliter la lecture des travaux cités dans la bibliographie. Au lecteur désireux d’étudier sérieusement la grammaire générative, ce livre fournira des repères conceptuels, terminologiques et bibliographiques. Pour les non générativistes, il sera un ouvrage d’information commode, que chacun pourra consulter en fonction de ses besoins propres.

Abstract

This collection of studies by leading scholars in the field focuses on the semantics of non-definite (bare and indefinite) plural NPs. The contributions in the first part concentrate on bare plurals and their cross-linguistic counterparts. They discuss applicability of the notion of 'semantic incorporation' to bare plurals by contrasting them to bare singulars, with the aim of accounting for the interaction between the semantics of number and the degree of (in)dependency of the NP with respect to the verb. The articles in the second part examine the relationship between the semantics of number and the semantics of aspect. The contributions in the third part concentrate on non-definite numerical noun phrases by addressing a range of fundamental questions such as: the semantics of indefinite time-phrases, numericals in classifier- and non-classifier languages, scope interactions, the at least- and exactly-readings, referential properties of numericals. The volume will be welcomed by linguists interested in the semantics of number in non-definite NPs.

Abstract

The way in which people address one another is crucial to expressing social relationships and is closely linked with cultural values. In English we call some people by their first names, and others 'Mr' or 'Ms', followed by their surname. In some other languages there are different ways of saying 'you' depending on the degree of social distance. Exploring practices in the family, school, university, the workplace and in letters, this book reveals patterns in the varied ways people choose to address one another, from pronouns to first names, from honorifics to titles and last names. Examples are taken from contemporary English, French, German and Swedish, using rich data from focus group research, interviews, chat groups, and participant observation.
