Francis Corblin: Anaphora as Echos of Mentions</FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>Research in the last decades in semantics has tried to establish,
for </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial size=4>some
restricted pronominal paradigms, that pronouns have a core </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>meaning. Evans (1980) claims that there are few (somewhat)
related </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>models for pronouns, and Kamp (1981) develops a formalism giving
a </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>unified meaning to pronouns in general.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4> In this paper, I will focus on French
"personal" pronouns il, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>elle, le, lui, en, y , and I will discuss some data difficult
to </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>accommodate in the classical Evans/Kamp models :a) Some varieties
of </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>pay-check sentences ; b) anaphora by pronouns to parts of idioms;
c) </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>revision sentences as discussed by Strawson (1952).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4> I will argue that this range of cases
points to a unified theory </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial size=4>of
pronouns seen as "echos of mentions", a mention being a
discourse </FONT></DIV>

kind. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial size=4>I
try to make explicit in the talk what is metaphorically meant by
the </FONT></DIV>

"echo" in the above formulation.</FONT></DIV>

Daniel Hardt: Minimizing Computation in Ellipsis Interpretation</FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>Elliptical expressions require the hearer to compute an
interpretation </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial size=4>in
the absence of overt structure. This might seem an impossible
task, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>especially given that the hearer must apparently compute inferences
to </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>determine the missing material that the speaker had in mind. In
this </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>talk, I will make two proposals to limit the computation required
for </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>ellipsis interpretation. The first is monotonicity: elided
or </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>otherwise backgrounded expressions are</FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>integrated as soon as possible into the evolving model of
discourse. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial size=4>The
second is inference triggering: inference is performed only
when </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>triggered by violations of semantically relevant conditions. I
will </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>argue that these restrictions explain a range of otherwise
puzzling </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>observations concerning VP ellipsis and sluicing. Finally, I
will </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>suggest a unification of ellipsis interpretation with the
general </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>interpretation of backgrounded material in discourse.</FONT></DIV>

Friederike Moltmann: Anaphora in First-Person-Oriented Generic
Contexts</FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial size=4>This
talk explores the consequences of the little studied </FONT></DIV>

counterpart </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial

in </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>Moltmann (to appear b), generic one is 'first person-oriented' in
that </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial size=4>it
leads to an expression of genericity driven either by an
inference </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial size=4>from
the first person (the relevant agent) as in (1a) or by an </FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>However, a closer investigation reveals that all occurrences
of </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial

sentential </FONT></DIV>

the </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>ramifications of two general ideas pursued recently especially
by </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>Kratzer, namely (1) that indefinites / pronouns, to a great
extent, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial size=4>are
tied to sentential operators and (2) that pronouns in
general </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>alternate between occurrences with interpreted features
and </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial

are </FONT></DIV>

Nicholas Asher: Troubles on the Right Frontier</FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>Anaphors in natural language are subject to several
constraints </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>governing their possible antecedents. While syntactic and
semantic </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>constraints of the sort discussed in generative syntax and
dynamic </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>semantics respectively, discourse constraints on anaphora are
less </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial size=4>well
known at least in the philosophical community. The
Right </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>Frontier Constraint, originally proposed by Polanyi in the
eighties, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial size=4>is
one of the central constraints on discourse update and
anaphora </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>resolution in SDRT, an extension of dynamic semantics that
takes </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>rhetorical relations and discourse structure into account. In
this </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>paper I will first set out this constraint, then look at some
evidence </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial size=4>and
finally some challenges to this constraint. The evidence for
and </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>against leads us to distinguish between different types of
anaphoric </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>expressions based not only on the type of object they refer to
but </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial size=4>also
with respect to what sorts of presuppositional content they
have. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4> I'll argue for two basic observations: anaphors referring
to </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>abstract entities like propositions in general obey the right
frontier </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>constraint without exception. Secondly, anaphors referring
to </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>concrete entities introduced by noun phrases in previous
discourse </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial size=4>have
a complex behavior. In general expressions with a
'heavier' </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>presuppositional content (definite descriptions and
complex </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>demonstratives) have a better chance of remaining felicitous
even </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>though the relations between them and their antecedents violate
the </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>Right Frontier Constraint. I will then give an explanation of
this </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>contrast in terms of the individuation conditions of propositions
and </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>other abstract entities as opposed to concrete entities. Roughly,
the </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>Right Frontier constraint is constitutive of the abstract
entities </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial size=4>that
a text speaks about, whereas this is not the case for
concrete </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>entities. The Right Frontier Constraint seems to be more a matter
of </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial

all these examples, the semantic value of the definite
pronoun </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>co-varies with that of its "head". We shall spell out the kind
of </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>co-variation involved here in terms of functional dependence.
For </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>instance, the first sentences in (1) and (2) introduce a
functional </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>dependence in the relevant universe "xR(x; fx) and "xP(x;
fx) , </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>while in the second sentence, the function so introduced is
re-applied </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial size=4>to
an individual in its domain "xR(x; fx);O(j; fj) and "xP(x;
fx); </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial size=4>f(m)
= 10 . (Here the colon is treated as dynamic conjunction.)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4> (3) and (4) are slightly more involved,
but the mechanism is </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>basically the same:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>"xR(x; fx); $yO(y; fy) and "xP(x; fx); $yf(y) = 10 .</FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>quantifiers, we notice that the logical forms of (5) and (6) exhibit
a </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>similar mechanism: the functional dependence introduced in the
first </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>sentence is exploited in the second one: $W(w)(f(w)); $w'E(w')(f(w))
. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial size=4>Here
the first universal quantifier may be taken to range over
the </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>epistemic states of Hob, and the second over those of Nob. The
dynamic </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial
size=4>conjunction has the property of letting $w bind the free occurrence
of </FONT></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px"><FONT style="FONT: 14px Arial" face=Arial size=4>w in
the second formula. W(w)(f(w)) abbreviates "f(w) satisfies
the </FONT></DIV>

functional </FONT></DIV>

size=4>interpretation will be shown to be one of the applications
of </FONT></DIV>
