Identity, Modality, and the Candidate Behind the Wall

Year: 1998

Type: article

Abstract: This paper reports on ongoing work on the syntax and semantics of identity constructions. In particular, I will highlight the semantic differences between what I call the pronominal identity construction (PIC) exemplified in (1), and the expletive identity construction (EIC) as shown in (2).
