Dear colleagues,
In Hornstein's recent LI article, he uses the term 'de se', in regards to a particular interpretation of infinitivals clauses with mental verbs. I believe that it refers to something like the contrast between the internal versus the external representation of a mental event, i.e., something like the difference between (1) & (2) (1) I remember that I lent you the book, [the fact] (2) but I don't remember lending you the book. [the internal memory of the event] I am not sure this is correct, and have not been able to find other printed references to the term 'de se'. I would appreciate clarification or corrections in regards to this term, and any references that may help. Many thanks, Ana Perez-Leroux |
