Informationen zum Autor Andrew Barss is Associate Professor of Linguistics and Associate Research Social Scientist in Cognitive Science at the University of Arizona. His research interests include anaphora, movement phenomena, and scope; the syntax of logical form; derivational models of syntax and their relation to performance models; and competition-based models of syntactic form and the constraints they impose on semantic interpretation. Klappentext Anaphora is the study of referential relationships in language. Given the great flowering of the study of this topic in the last decade, it is time for a book that reports on the major results of recent research and sets the stage for further inquiry. The authors represented in Anaphora: A Reference Guide are among the world's leading researchers on anaphora and are ideally suited to meet this goal. Their work draws on theoretical principles and methodologies in linguistics, cognitive psychology, and philosophy, as well as the integrated, broad perspective of cognitive science. These stimulating reports of cutting-edge research will be useful to both undergraduate and graduate students and will find a large audience among professional researchers of anaphora and scholars who want to catch up on what is new and exciting in the area. Zusammenfassung * Reports on the major results of recent research in anaphora and sets the stage for further inquiry. * Features contributions from among the worlda s leading researchers on anaphora. * Presents an exciting picture of how broad the phenomenon of anaphora is and how it can reveal many mysterious properties of language.
