Abstract:
This dissertation is concerned with the deictic and grammatical category
person and its associated linguistic expressions: indexical, i.e. first and
second person, pronouns. Under the hypothesis that sentence meaning is
computed from how words and their associated lexical information combine with
each other, indexical pronouns present an interesting challenge: their actual
referent can only be determined once interpreted with respect to the utterance
context they are being used in. Formulated within the Chomskyan framework of
generative syntax, this thesis develops a novel approach to the relationship
between the morphosyntactic content, the interpretational ranges, and the
associated crosslinguistic variation of these pronouns. Primarily based on
data from Dutch, English, German (Indoeuropean), and Blackfoot (Algonquian),
the main conclusion of this thesis is that person is derivative of
spatiotemporal information: Firstly, temporal information plays a crucial role
in its interpretation. Secondly, spatial information contributes the necessary
contextual anchoring. Empirically, this dissertation draws on data from the
domains of genericity, possession, tense, and modality. On the basis of this
evidence it is shown that the spatiotemporal information underlying indexical
pronouns is also encoded morphosyntactically. From a broader perspective, this
dissertation addresses questions concerning the relation between context and
syntax, morphology and syntax, as well as syntax and semantics.
