Event Structure and Internally-Headed Relative Clauses. Edition No. 1

VDM Publishing House, October 2008, Pages: 244

The overarching goal of this study is to investigate
how syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic factors
interact to produce what is called the Internally
Headed Relative Clause construction in Korean and
Japanese. This study shows that the construction’s
interpretation is determined by both grammatical
factors and pragmatic factors. In addition, two
sources of the semantic variability of the
construction are isolated. The analysis advanced here
establishes important connections between the
semantics of a definite description and event
structure, thereby solving the particularly
challenging formal-linking problem, one that afflicts
the previous E-type pronoun analyses. It also
provides a constrained but flexible interpretive
mechanism for the construction, eliminating the need
for many of the extra-grammatical constraints that
characterize existing treatments.
