Verb Phrase Pronominalization in Danish : Deep or Surface Anaphora ? *
In their seminal (1976) paper Hankamer and Sag show that anaphora comes in two basic types. Deep anaphors, like the it in Jasper ate a durian but Maria couldn’t do it, are syntactically atomic. They receive their interpretation from rules of semantic interpretation that make reference to objects in a discourse or other semantic model (Sag and Hankamer 1984). Surface anaphors on the other hand p...
متن کاملAnaphoric Dependencies In Ellipsis
It has long been known that anaphoric relationships in the implicit meaning of an elided verb phrase depend on corresponding anaphoric relationships in the source of the ellipsis. This squib concernswhat the underlying cause of this dependency is. Does it arise directly through some uniform relation between the two clauses, or does it follow indirectly from independently motivated discourse pri...
متن کاملHandling Verb Phrase Anaphora with Dependent Types and Events
Abstract. This paper studies how dependent typed events can be used to treat verb phrase anaphora. We introduce a framework that extends Dependent Type Semantics (DTS) with a new atomic type for neoDavidsonian events and an extended @-operator that can return new events that share properties of events referenced by verb phrase anaphora. The proposed framework, along with illustrative examples o...
متن کاملUnderspeciied Treatment of Verb Phrase Ellipsis Underspeciied Treatment of Verb Phrase Ellipsis
This paper deals with the underspeciied semantic representation of ellipsis and its resolution. We present an analysis to explain the the distribution of strict and sloppy readings in the interaction of verb phrase ellipsis and anaphora. The analysis is integrated into a framework that enables a uniform and underspeciied treatment of scope, anaphora and VPE. Abstract This paper deals with the u...
متن کاملA Hybrid Type of Ellipsis in Romanian
The paper presents a type of ellipsis similar to stripping and split conjuncts, yet irreducible to either of them. One aim of the analysis is to document the existence of this distinct ellipsis type within the class of constructions where the elided constituent is a verb or a verb phrase. It is argued that the main generative strategies, namely, deletion and null anaphora cannot be applied to t...
