*ABA environments are pockets of morphology that prohibit noncontiguous suppletion, and which show promise to generativists as a diagnostic for the presence syntactic hierarchical structure. In particular, it identifies Lower Arrernte (Pama-Nyungan) nonsingular pronouns an AAB-permissive environment. Morphological contiguity in results from manner kintactic features expressing kinship generatio...

The challenge of anaphora resolution has been taken up from long time. However, most of the work did not include for dialogues. In this paper we discuss the types of pronouns and anaphora in Telugu language and make an attempt to build a rule based pronominal anaphora resolution algorithm for human to human conversations. The model mainly consists of two parts, creating a knowledge base with a ...

Gender features on anaphoric pronouns are often analyzed as presupposition triggers, after [Cooper, 1983]. I argue that, first, “presuppositions” arising in sentences with gendered pronouns have a peculiar projection behavior different from that of regular presuppositions, and second, that such special indexical presuppositions, rather than being contributed by morphological features directly, ...

Performing anaphora resolution ...

In this paper we discuss the phenomenon of Object Shift in Norwegian, and we show that this operation is more complex and discourse related than what has traditionally been assumed. We argue that Object Shift cannot be accounted for in a purely prosodic approach. Rather, we demonstrate that a common denominator for all objects undergoing Object Shift is that they are topics. We thus propose tha...

The findings from a number of recent studies indicate that, even in cases of successful bilingual first language acquisition, the possibility remains of a certain degree of crosslinguistic influence when the choice between syntactic options is affected by discourse pragmatics. In this study we focussed on the use of referring expressions, prime candidates to test the interaction between syntax ...
