Example text

9) c.  met son.  born tokoro de]i ushinatta hitori no am.  singer.  (Cp2 = modifier of son, Cp1 = modifier of singer) Just as Russian ego can be used as subject-referring pronoun “oneself ” or German man, the reflexive intensifier jibun serves as a good example for the locality relation. Desambiguation is achieved by the relative order of the modifying constituent umareta tokoro de “place of birth”: If in the object constituent musuko “son”, the antecedent modifier refers to “son”; however, if in proximity to the subject constituent kashu ga “singer”, the modifier inevitably is coreferent with kashu ga “singer(subject)”, while reference to son is impossible.

ArtPro/DemPro restricts its antecedent relation to the latest mention of the set-referentially independent rhema, in contrast to PersPro, which presupposes a set-referentially dependent antecedent chain. This antecedent represents the clause-internal thema. PersPro does not find an antecedent in a pure rhema chain (cf.

Linear orders and priorities among appellative/common noun text participants, DPs, are unfolded from within the perspective of the new text participants (Cf, where {Cf}⊂Un). , all types of Pro-nominals taking up the reference of (“coreferring to”) this antecedent and indicating the most appropriate discourse-activated text participant (Cb,6 where {Cb}⊂Un).
