<p class="MsoNormal">Hello all,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I would like to know how people have modeled Spanish headless NPs that function like English one-anaphora (e.g., “las nuevas”, i.e. “the new”, meaning “The new ones”). John Payne pointed me to his work
<span style="color:black">‘Fusion of functions: The syntax of <i>once</i>, <i>twice</i> and
<i>thrice</i>’ (John Payne, Rodney Huddleston and Geoffrey K. Pullum). <i>Journal of Linguistics</i> (43) 2007: 565-603. Following this work, the ADJ would also function as NP head, and license an optional PRO. This could be done also by DET which is attractive
since that would allow (I believe) a uniform treatment of clitics and determiners in Spanish as optionally licensing PREDs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">I guess (but I am guessing here) that one could also use glue semantics to do composition of the anaphor and its antecedent without bothering with PREDs. Does
that sound feasible?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black">Anyway, any pointers to literature much appreciated.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
