[Lingtyp] Cross-linguistic research on "binding" domains and the (non)complementarilty of pronouns and reflexives

[Christian Lehmann]

Hello Adam,

the following article

Hampe, Beate & Lehmann, Christian 2013, “Partial coreference”. Bakker, 
Dik & Haspelmath, Martin (eds.), /Languages across boundaries: Studies 
in memory of Anna Siewierska/. Berlin: De Gruyter Mouton; 159-196.

adduces evidence from some languages showing that configurations of 
partial coreference between subject and another verb dependent,

    I embarrass us both. (BNC-CDA)
    I could send us both to prison. (BNC-HTT)

which are declared ungrammatical in binding theory, do occur in 
different languages. They employ personal rather than reflexive 
pronouns. Their possibility depends on the type of personal pronominal 
element appearing in the non-subject function.

Best, Christian
