Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
Pronouns have always constituted a core and fascinating research area in modern linguistics and bordering disciplines (e.g. philosophy). This is so because their morpho-syntactic and semantic properties pose questions which directly impinge on various theoretical assumptions, construals and modelling, as well as on the analysis of numerous linguistic phenomena (such as extraction, ellipsis, reconstruction, relativization, complementation, question formation, reflexivization, to mention but a few). Typological classifications of pronouns have been attempted from a morphological, syntactic, and semantic perspective, with different and/or cross-classificatory outcomes. This course will review the major issues in the morpho-syntax and semantics of pronouns, introducing some of the most prominent lines of research on them in recent linguistic theorizing. Some such issues involve the dichotomies definite vs. indefinite, demonstrative vs. non-demonstrative, deictic (or indexical) vs. non-deictic, reflexive (and reciprocal) vs. non-reflexive, free vs. bound, overt vs. non-overt (or phonologically null), clitic vs. full and/or strong, resumptive vs. non-resumptive pronouns; various other types of pronouns (such as logophoric pronouns, e-type or donkey-pronouns, paycheck pronouns and pronouns of laziness); notions such as coreference, binding, disjoint reference, the so-called Bach-Peters paradox; specific problems that have arisen in various analyses of these phenomena (such as the uniqueness problem and the formal link problem); and others, such as the role and significance of phi-features on pronouns, pronoun movement, base generation, etc.
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
Students will have to make a presentation with handout on material that will be provided with the literature list, or to write a (review) paper of their own.
Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
To deepen, consolidate and advance students knowledge on the theory of grammar, in particular on issues such as the nature of the relationship between syntax and semantics, syntactic and semantic analysis, morpho-syntactic typology; as well as to encourage students to engage in and carry out independent research.
