NOTES

l. Cross-modal priming typically involves auditory presentation of a sentence and visual presentation of a naming or lexical decision target. If the target word is responded to quickly, relative to a control, this indicates a semantic relation between the meaning of target and the processing operations perceivers were performing at the point when the target was presented. See Swinney (1979).

2. McKoon and Ratcliff (1997) reports natural occurrences of do so with a passivized antecedent in contexts emphasizing activity. In such contexts subjects rate the passivized antecedents as fully natural. This demonstrates that the antecedent for a surface anaphor need not be fully parallel to the form of the anaphor.

3. There exist several interesting studies of detinite descriptions that go beyond the issues of NP anaphora discussed here. Mueller-Lust and Gibbs (1991) show that, in general, referential definite descriptions are read faster than attributive ones in contexts where a discourse antecedent is already given, but not in examples where the referent of the definite description is a famous individual whose identity can be inferred directly without reactivating an established discourse entity.

In a study of metaphoric interpretation, Onishi and Murphy (1993) show that metaphoric interpretations take longer to process than literal ones when they occur in the topic (e.g. , The creampujJ didn '{ didn '( show up.) but not when the occur in the predicate (e.g., Mary is an icebox.).

4. Intersective, but not subsective, adjectives may appear in predicate position. Presumably this implies that a categoriaI distinction among adjectives must be registered in the lexicon and used to govern the distributionlinterpretation of adjectives. Tom Roeper (personal communication) points out that intersective adjectives may occur postnominally (a smoker old andJrail) whereas subsective adjective may not (a smoker heavy and frequent).

5. I am extremely grateful to Kai von Fintel for an illuminating discussion of subsective interpretations. The idea that subsective interpretations involve contextualizing the adjective by allowing the denotation of the noun to fix the interpretation of a context variable of the adjective is due to him.

6. Apparently some arguments can never be left implicit, such as the goal argument of a double object verb, as in (i). Compare (i) to (ii) where the goal is expressed in a PP and the sentence is considerably more acceptable.

(i) * John offered a kiss but I don't know who. (ii) John offered a kiss but [ don't know to who(m).

I am grateful to Tom Roeper for pointing this out, and for the example.

7. Makes-sense judgment tasks involve self-paced reading of a sentence or discourse with the added decision (yes/no) of whether the current fragment makes sense given the preceding context.

8. The possibility that implicit arguments are entered only into the discourse representation, not LF, highlights questions about how the antecedent of PRO is established in Mauner, Carlson and Tanenhaus (1995).

9. A'-movement involves movement to a non-argument position, typically the specifier of CPo

10. A thematically-interpreted representation seems likely because the thematic role for the antecedent of a reflexive often must be higher on an appropriate thematic hierarchy than the thematic role of the reflexive itself.

11. It is unclear at present whether each constituent of a sentence is interpreted immediately or if it is only, say, each extended maximal projection that is. I will simply side-step this issue here. Kamp and Partee (1995) apply the Head Primacy Principle only to nominals. Especially if the principle is extended to other categories, such as VP, questions arise about how much interpretation of arguments of verbs can be accomplished strictly on the basis of Case markers in languages with phrase-final heads.

12. Clearly the rules proposed by Selkirk are not intended to be universal. As emphasized in the text, pitch accent plays a role in focus in some languages besides English (e.g. Dutch and German), but not in others (e.g. Swedish where a pitch accent is related to (main) word stress or Serbo-Croatian and Japanese).

13. It is of considerable interest to know whether a comparable generalization holds in languages other than English, in particular those which do not express focus prosodically.

14. Minimal Commitment is used in several distinct ways in the psycholinguistic literature, including cases where it predicts a preference for computing underspecified representations. This latter is not the sense intended by Crain et al. (\ 994). To avoid confusion, in the text I use the term "Minimally Disconfirmable" interpretations to indicate that the principle is intended by Crain et al. to chose among fully specified interpretations.

15. The repeated name penalty is probably not exactly a repeated name penalty, as Tom Roeper has pointed out to me. Consider contexts like: If President Clinton thinks President Clinton should win then he should do things that benefit him rather than those who oppose President Clinton. In certain contexts like this, the repeated name probably has a different interpretation than a pronoun would in the same position.

16. The subject preference cannot be attributed to the unavailability of the prepositional object (goal) as antecedent for two reasons. First, the subject preference held equally for

Page 23: REFERENCES - Springer978-94-011-4599-2/1.pdf · Cacciari, c., & Tabossi, P. (1988). The comprehension of idioms. Journal of Memory and Language, 27, 668-683. ... Thematic roles and

NOTES 165

(29d) and (29c), despite the presence of preposition only in (29c). Second, an exit poll was conducted following the experiment described in connection with (30). Restricting attention to the group of subjects who happily accepted propositional goals as antecedents, a strong subject preference still was observed.

17. Assuming that phrases containing predicates are themselves interpretive domains, as well as the thematic processing domain they are associated with, (ia,b) will also serve as interpretive domains.

a. (CP)

I (lP)

I VP

/, V adjunct predicate

adjunct clause

c. [NP (NP) and NP]

b. (PP)

I (DP)

I NP

A N relative clause

Frazier and Clifton (1996) argue that adjuncts as in (ia), and relative clause modifiers, as in (ib), "associate" with the current (preceding) thematic processing domain and thus are interpreted with that domain. Adopting Munn's (1993) theory of NP conjunction, each conjunct is a predicate (predicated of the Boolean operator (B) "and", thereby receiving whatever theta-role the operator distributes) as in (ii).

(ii) BP

A Spec BP

I A I Spec B'

I I A I I B NP

1R. The intuition about (36b) is very subtle, I think. Perhaps the dispreference for moved antecedents that has been established for ref1exives (see section 3.6) also applies to antecedents for lexical variables .

19. Diesing (1990) proposes that indefinites left within the VP at LF receive an existential interpretation. In other words, they are bound by a covert existential quantifier associated with VP.

Page 24: REFERENCES - Springer978-94-011-4599-2/1.pdf · Cacciari, c., & Tabossi, P. (1988). The comprehension of idioms. Journal of Memory and Language, 27, 668-683. ... Thematic roles and

166 NOTES

20. Emmon Bach points out that within the restrictor clause embedding may be necessary or, at least, some means is needed to capture the fact that (i) and (ii) have different presuppositions. Sentence (i) presupposes or implies that there are other houses on the corner whereas (ii) implies that there are other houses with big picture windows.

(i) The house that is on the corner that has a big picture window. (ii) The house that has a big picture window that is on the corner.

21. Singular indefinites in subject position cannot correspond to topics and necessarily introduce a new discourse entity or index card, at least on approaches like that advocated by Erteschik-Shir (1993). However, bare plurals on this view may introduce a discourse topic if they are interpreted generically.

22. As an anonymous reviewer pointed out to me, this principle (8) may be formulated too narrowly. Not just definite NPs but all 'strong' NPs may immediately initiate a search for a restrictor clause. Strong NPs include quantifiers like most, as well as definites. Strong NPs are identifiable superficially as the phrases which may not occur in existential sentences, for example * There are most bees in the garden.

23. Portner's study was set up to look for interactions between the type of subject (definite, indefinite, bare plural) and type of predicate (matrix vs. reduced relative, generic vs. nongeneric). Nevertheless, the existence of a garden path in sentences with a definite subject was quite clear: matrix continuation (1652) were faster than generic (1818) or nongeneric (1730) continuations which required a relative clause analysis. With plural subjects, numerically the matrix continuation (1765) took longer than the relative clause continuations (1716, 1722) for the generic and nongeneric respectively. Sentence with indefinite singular subjects were fastest with the generic VP (1597), which was fast compared to either the main clause continuation (1704) or the nongeneric relative clause continuation (1738). One way to look at these data is to assume that a generic subject (A dinosaur) does not like a nongeneric predicate, whatever its syntactic analysis.

24. Pearlmutter and MacDonald (1995) report that a third of their subjects do show longer times for ambiguous main clause sentences than for unambiguous ones, suggesting that this shows the existence of a garden path in sentence with main clause continuations. Also, as discussed below at the end of 7.5, Crain et al. (1996) do include main clause continuations in a study of reduced relative clauses and still find results supporting their theory and different from those of Clifton and Frazier (in progress). We are currently investigating the sources of these differences.

25. Throughout I am ignoring examples (e.g. Feshmen) where a lexical item supplies its own impl icit contrast set.

20. The specific version of Diesing's Mapping Hypothesis that I adopt is summarized in (i).

(i) VP external at LF: VP internal at LF:

presuppositional interpretations existential interpretations

quantificational interpretations

I assume that the YP is the "Nuclear Scope", at least it is where asserted information is expected to appear. Perceivers seem to expect noncontrastively focused information to appear in the YP. However, I do not assume that only asserted information can appear in the YP.

27. In Runner's theory, there is no expletive replacement at LF. (All forms of A-movement are prohibited at LF.) Therefore, A dog in (2a) must remain in YP at LF.

28. It is unclear whether resistance to lowering the subject in (6a) is a result of the need to lower over a clause boundary, or a result of the availabi1ity of an alternative form (6b), where the subject already appears in the lower position at s-structure.

29. Reconstruction examples are interesting precisely because they allow distinct aspects of interpretation to be teased apart. The examples in (12) indicate that each aspect of interpretation is preferentially accomplished as high in the already computed structure as is grammatically permissible. The scope of the wh-phrase is determined in the highest (s-structure) position. Binding of the reflexive requires lowering at least to a position where a c-commanding antecedent is available (i.e., the specifier of the embedded CP).

Thematic interpretation requires further lowering to a theta-position within the lower clause. If the grammar permitted the reflexive to be bound in the highest (scope determining) position of the wh-phrase, then ML would predict that the reflexive would preferentially be bound in that position. In short, on the theory advocated here, a syntactic chain is not interpreted all at once. Different aspects of interpretation may be separated, each occurring as high in the already computed surface structure as the grammar permits.

30. (13a) contains the focus particle only. The role of only in such examples is not entirely clear (Rooth, 1985, 1992). It seems to magnify and clarify perceivers intui tions about focus. If only is deleted, the same narrow focus preference seems to be present, though the contrast between different continuations (e.g., (13b) VS. (l3b')) is less sharp.

31. This account suggests that projection of F-marking is defined at deep structure, or more likely LF.

32. In order to "sprout" an antecedent for a wh-phrase with an implicit argument antecedent (see Chung, Ladusaw & McCloskey, 1995), presumably the processor must check that the 'antecedent' verb (typed in (30» may take an argument of the syntactic category of the wh-phrase. But, assigning the most plausible thematic role to the wh-phrase will presumably be accomplished by the thematic module as usual.

33. A complete detailed account of all interpretive domains goes beyond the scope of the present work. In the case of speech, intonational phrases seem to play th is role, as argued by Schafer (1997), see section 3.6. Without a prosodically structured input, thematic processing domains (Frazier & Clifton, 1996) may serve as interpretive domains, as argued in section 5.6.
