Possibility-Seeking Experiments: Testing Syntactic Hypotheses on the Level of the Individual
Daniel Plesniak(Daniel Plesniak ) 한국생성문법학회 2023 생성문법연구 Vol.33 No.1
This paper explores an emerging theoretical and experimental approach to bridging the gap between generative syntactic theories and the judgements of individuals. Crucially, there are times when generative theories seem to make absolute predictions about how a given sentence should be judged, yet there is judgement variation among individuals. To overcome this challenge, this new approach adapts generative hypotheses in order to predict a range of possible judgement patterns across sentences, allowing the incorporation of judgement variation into predictions while still maintaining definite testability. To exemplify this approach, a demonstration experiment examining bound variable anaphora (BVA) is presented, addressing the longstanding debate as to whether BVA can be used as an effective probe for c-command relations. Using the “possibility-seeking” methodology, BVA is shown to obey clear c-command-based constraints. Using said constraints, BVA can be used to test crucial theories in generative syntax with a powerful new level of precision.
C-command and Beyond: The Emerging Universe of Formal and Non-Formal Relations
PLESNIAK DANIEL HOAGBERG 한국언어학회 2023 언어 Vol.48 No.2
It has long been debated whether meaning relations (MR), class of interpretative phenomena that includes bound variable anaphora, distributive readings, and coreference, are licensed by specific c-command configurations. As it turns out, both sides of this debate are correct; there are a multitude of underlying relations that can serve as sources for MR, at least one of which, but not all, relies on c-command. The other, non-c-command-based relations generally rely on semantic and/or pragmatic factors, such as topicality and genericity. A survey of these different MR-sources reveals that, while their interactions are complex, the influence of each can be isolated by applying the appropriate diagnostics and procedures. As such, it is possible to control these sources, and, in particular, to do so in such a way that those sources that do not rely on c-command are suppressed, which creates an environment in which MR-acceptability judgements are robustly informative about the underlying syntactic structure of a given utterance.
