intitulée

« The syntax of de re »

Résumé :
Common assumptions about semantic values and semantic composition force us to 
say that, even for simple belief reports like “John thinks that Mary is 
French”, the syntax of the sentence is not what it appears to be on the 
surface.  Percus and Sauerland (2003) suggest that the differences are not 
drastic, however: the constituent structure is basically as we would 
otherwise imagine, and there are just a few additional unpronounced elements 
here and there.  In this talk, I will review the arguments that there is 
a “syntax of de re,” and I will detail and elaborate on the Percus and 
Sauerland proposal.  I will mention some further conclusions that the 
proposal leads to and some (primarily syntactic) issues that arise.  I will 
point to some connections to other kinds of attitude reports, including some 
without embedded clauses.
