最近作到一题有关 Binding Theory 的题目
题目如下:
We proposed that binding required both c-command and coindexation.
Consider an alternative: binding requires that the antecedent precedes
(rather than c-command) and is coindexed with the anaphor or pronoun.
Which of these alternatives is right? How can you tell?
You might consider dada such as the following:
a)[s'[s'Although he loves marshmallows][s Art is not a big fan of Smores]].
这边的 "he" 与 "Art" coindexed
b)[s[NP His yearbook picture] give gives Tom the creeps].
这边的"His" 与 "Tom" coindexed
由于 a) b)两句的pronoun "he" "His" 并没有c-command 后面同指涉的 "Art" 和 "Tom"
但在a) b) 两句却是 coindexed,因此不符合一开始题目所提的第一个论点:
binding required both c-command and coindexation.
如果用 antecedent precedes 来探讨, "Art" 和 "Tom"若是先行词却放在
"he" "His"的后面，因此不成立。
有没有一种可能的假设是:
若pronoun 若在 a) b)句这种句子内，不是c-command 且 pronoun precede
就可同指涉(coindexed)后面的人，ex:"Art" 和 "Tom"
也有另种可能是 a) b) 两句经过变形，deep structure 是符合 C-command.
请问各位版友们有什么想法呢?
