2019 Chapter 8. (In)definiteness of Vietnamese noun phrases Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Vietnamese Linguistics, Duffield, Nigel, Trang Phan and Tue Trinh (eds.), pp. 155–180 | Chapter
In this contribution we discuss the factors determining the definite or indefinite interpretation of Noun Phrases in Vietnamese. In contrast to what has been claimed in the literature, we find that NPs consisting of a bare noun and NPs consisting of a numeral, a classifier (cl) and a noun, while… read more
2016 Universals and variation: Encoding anaphoric dependencies Finiteness Matters: On finiteness-related phenomena in natural languages, Eide, Kristin Melum (ed.), pp. 93–120 | Article
This contribution starts with an overview of current issues in the theory of binding. It sketches a modular approach based on universal principles (entailing that reflexivity must be licensed), and that yet is able to account for the cross-linguistic variation observed. It subsequently addresses… read more
2013 Clitic SE in Romance and Slavonic revisited Current Studies in Slavic Linguistics, Kor Chahine, Irina (ed.), pp. 75–88 | Article
In Slavonic and Romance languages there is a range of constructions that feature what is referred to as the “the reflexive clitic” se/si/się. Adhering to the law of parsimony, we propose a unified analysis of the clitic across different reflexive-like and passive-like constructions. We put forth… read more

De Mulder, Øystein Nilsen and Arjen Zondervan (eds.), pp. 257–282 | Article
In this article I start out from Kratzer’s (2006) observation that a bound variable interpretation of German 1st and 2nd person (possessive) pronouns shows locality effects. I show how the approach based on syntactic chain formation developed in Reuland (2001, 2005a) resolves a general empirical… read more
2007 Perspectives on Binding Linguistic Theory and South Asian Languages: Essays in honour of K. A. Jayaseelan, Bayer, Josef, Tanmoy Bhattacharya and M.T. Hany Babu (eds.), pp. 127–142 | Article
In this article I address the question as to why natural language has special principles governing the binding of pronouns and anaphors and the licensing of reflexive predicates. That is, why do we have principles such as conditions A, and B of the binding theory? Based on facts from Malayalam… read more
