Meeting Description:
The phenomenon of resumption raises major questions, both theoretical and
descriptive. Since no language is known to exist which uses special pronouns to
fulfill the resumptive function, it must be asked what is the relation between
the latter and the various relations that pronouns entertain with an antecedent
elsewhere. Since in the languages which systematically resort to them,
resumptive pronouns occupy positions which in other languages correspond to
gaps, it must be asked whether the relation between a resumptive pronoun and its
antecedent shares the properties which are usually associated with gap
structures or displays different properties. In particular, it must be
determined whether, from a semantic point of view, resumptive pronouns give rise
to reconstruction phenomena and whether these phenomena are partially or totally
identical to those which relie on traces or on the copies resulting from the
movement to a peripheral position (in the frameworks which resort to such
notions). The aim of this workshop is to exploit the new tools and assumptions
made available by recent syntactic and semantic research (copy theory of
movement, resource management, pronouns as definite descriptions) by comparing
data from various languages - classic Egyptian, Coptic, standard Arabic, Hebrew,
Scots Gaelic, Welsh, Breton, Italian - and by confronting them with the
predictions of various syntactic and semantic models.
The Laboratoire de Linguistique Formelle (LLF) and the Ecole Doctorale Sciences
du Langage of the Université Paris7-Denis Diderot (UFRL), in association with
the Groupe de Recherches Linguistiques of the Université de Nantes, propose a
workshop on the following topic:
