Abstract:

This book combines theoretical and experimental aspects of the
establishment of dependency. It provides an account of dependency relations
by focusing on the representation and interpretation of referentially
dependent elements, particularly regular reflexives, logophors, and
pronouns. First, the establishment of dependency is discussed within a
model of syntax?discourse correspondences that predicts an economy-based
dependency hierarchy contingent on the level of representation at which the
dependency is formed as well as the internal structure of the dependent
element and its antecedent. Secondly, the model's predictions are
substantiated by a series of experimental studies (conducted in English and
Dutch) providing evidence from three sources of online sentence
comprehension: reaction time studies, Broca's aphasia patient studies, and
event-related brain potential studies. The findings show that dependencies
are established at distinct levels of linguistic encoding (i.e. syntax or
discourse) determined by the presence or absence of coargumenthood and the
representation of the dependency-forming elements.

"I immensely enjoyed reading this book. It is a must for anyone interested
in the way our mind processes language. It offers an intriguing perspective
on the relation between the architecture of the grammar and the
organization of the human interpretive system."
Eric Reuland, Utrecht institute of Linguistics OTS 

"Drawing on results from cross-modal studies, from aphasiology, and from
ERP research, not to mention a range of current descriptive frameworks
characterizing antecedent-anaphor relations under a variety of grammatical
and semantic conditions, Petra Burkhardt has produced significant work that
represents essential reading for anyone investigating the syntax-discourse
interface and brain/language research."
Laurence R. Horn, Yale University 

"Burkhardt's work represents a comprehensive and careful application of
psycholinguistic methods to one of the most interesting linguistic issues,
that is the issue of linguistic dependencies. Having conducted a series of
well-designed and creative experiments, Burkhardt is able to demonstrate
how theoretical considerations find a direct reflection in the way language
system is organized. A wide variety of experiments ranging from studies
with Broca's aphasics to EEG/ERP experimentation with unimpaired adults
make the claims particularly strong. A very well written and deeply
informed linguistically, this book will be of clear interest both to
students and professionals in many fields of psycholinguistics." 
Sergey Avrutin, Head of the Experimental Psycholinguistics Research
Department, Utrecht University

This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $52,932. This money will go to help keep the 
List running by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming year.

See below for donation instructions, and don't forget to check out our Fund Drive 2006 
LINGUIST List Cruise for some Fund Drive fun!

http://linguistlist.org/cruise.html 

There are many ways to donate to LINGUIST!

You can donate right now using our secure credit card form.

Alternatively you can also pledge right now and pay later.

For all information on donating and pledging, including information on how to donate by 
check, money order, or wire transfer, please visit:

http://linguistlist.org/donate.html

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such can 
receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit 
organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be offset against 
your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more 
information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any gift 
you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting your human 
resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills in and returns 
to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure that doubles the 
value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment 
to check if your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
