| Summary: |
On June 15 I posted a query about empathetic deixis. So far I've received several suggestions and comments whose summary I'd like to share with you and at the same time thank the people who helped. The first to write back was Nik Gisborne of Cambridge (nsg22@cus.cam.ac.uk) who referred me to Sylvia Adamson's treatment of empathetic narrative where she treats subjectivity as a species of deixis (Susan Wright and Dieter Stein, eds. _Subjectivity and Subjectivisation_ Cambridge University Press, 1995. Dan Loehr of Georgetown University (loehrd@gsun.acc.georgetown.edu) referred me to Buehler's _Theory of Language_ (Sprachtheorie), 1934 translated by D. Goodwin, John Benjamin, 1990; Fillmore, C. _Santa Cruz Lectures on Deixis, Indiana University Lingusitics Club, 1975; Lyons, John, _Deixis as the Source of Reference_, LAUT, Trier, 1973; both Lyons' books Intro to Theoretical Linguistics and Semantics, Vol.2; Lyons, J., "Deixis and Anaphora" in T.Myers, ed. _The Development of Conversation and Discourse_, Edinburgh University Press, 1979. Lynne Hewitt (leh5@psu.edu), and a little later, William Rapaport (rapaport@cs.buffalo.edu) both pointed out that the texts in Duchan, J., Bruder, G $ Hewitt, L. (eds.) _Deixis in narrative: A cognitive science perspective_, Hillsdale, NJ, Lawrence Earlbaum, 1995 should be taken a look at. In her chapter "Reduced Anaphor in Subjective Contexts" Lynne analyzes the use of extended stretches of pronominalization for purpose of indicating subjective contexts in popular fiction. There are also chapters on unspeakable sentences (Ann Banfield), empathy in syntax (Kuno), subjective contexts in Japanese (Kuroda). Anne Reboul (Anne.Reboul@loria.fr) wrote saying that she'd written several papers on the topic, mainly centered on personal pronouns and suggested consulting Casta*neda's work. Lynne Hewitt added that Buehler's article translated into English as "The deicitic field of language and deictic words" (R. Jarvella $ W. Klein, _Speech, place and action: Studies in deixis and related topics, pp. 9-30, Wiley) could be useful, as well as the books by Jerome Bruner _Actual Minds, Possible Worlds_, Harvard University Press, 1986, and Kaete Hamburger, Die Logik der Dichtung, Ernst Kleist Verlag, 1957 tr. into English as _The Logic of Literature_, Indiana University Press, 1973. Finally I had Marcus Maia (maia@acd.ufrj.br) suggesting Lyons' _Semantics_ (I presume Vol.2). Sincere thanks to all. Djordje Vidanovic, University of Nis. |
