Indexical binding, presuppositions and agreement

Year: 2024

Type: paratext

Abstract: This paper focuses on bound readings of first and second person pronouns, which challenge Kaplan’s (1977/1989) fixity theory of indexicals. It first reviews the virtues and problems of the two main previous analyses: morphosyntactic approaches exploiting binding and agreement, and semantic approaches exploiting focus and presupposition. Next, it proposes a novel account combining all these ingredients based in part on new French data.
