Resumptive Pronouns at the Interfaces
Editor
This book brings together contributions which address a wide range of issues regarding resumption, gathering evidence from a great variety of languages including Welsh, Breton, Irish, Scottish Gaelic, French, Vata, Hebrew, Jordanian and Palestinian Arabic. The topics covered include the interpretive properties of resumptive pronouns and epithets, the featural make-up of resumptive pronouns, as well as the syntactic diversity of resumptive constructions and the nature of A-resumption. The introduction offers a critical survey of early syntactic accounts and recent semantic advancements. One contribution presents the results of experimental research providing a new perspective on the last resort status of resumption. Two seminal papers on resumption, Doron (1982) and McCloskey (1990), have also been included. This volume, which deals with a phenomenon that has given rise to intriguing claims concerning the structure and interpretation of pronouns, will be of great interest to both semanticists and syntacticians, whichever framework they favor.

“Le manque, certes tout relatif, d'homogénéité des analyses ne fait que découler de l'état actuel de la connaissance des phénomènes et des questionnements qu'ils soulèvent. Quoi qu'il en soit, ce livre est passionnant et mérite d'être étudié de près.”
Georges Rebuschi, Sorbonne Nouvelle & LACITO, in Bulletin de la Société de Linguistique de Paris
