A novel account of these two phenomena is proposed, according to which all occurrences of phi-features are both semantically and morphologically relevant. For such a \u0091uniformly semantic account\u0092 of phi-features, dependent plural pronouns constitute a theoretical challenge, while partial binding is more or less straightforwardly accounted for. In order to make sense of the semantic effects of the phi-features on dependent plural pronouns, the following idea is pursued: the phi-features on a dependent plural pronoun reflect the range of values that the pronoun takes, rather than the particular value it denotes at a time. This idea is implemented in a compositional semantics by making use of (Skolemized) choice functions. An appealing feature of the present account is that, unlike its predecessors, it accounts for dependent plural pronouns without c-commanding antecedents in essentially the same way as for those with c-commanding antecedents. It is also shown how this account of dependent plural pronouns can straightforwardly be augmented with set indices to account for partial binding.&#8221; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker: Filipe Hisao Kobayashi (MIT)Title: Sudo (2014): &#8220;Dependent plural pronouns with Skolemized choice functions&#8221;Time: Wednesday, December 11th, 5pm - 6:30pmLocation: 32-D831Abstract: I will discuss Yasutada Sudo&#8217;s (2014) paper entitled &#8220;Dependent plural pronouns with Skolemized choice functions&#8221;.
