Annotation

The intricate personal-name construction “Ich bin drin” Becker (‘Boris I am in Becker’), inserts a quote between two constituents. This N “CP” N construction requires a contextualist approach for background and witty or denigatory effect retrieval. A schema-based, mixed syntax-semantics-pragmatics constructional analysis is presented that includes a methodical interface with pragmatics.
