含有先行词的VP-删除的句子,如(1)至少会引起三个问题。第一个问题与指称循环有关:如果(1)的先行动词短语在成分上依赖于回指成分,那么它的解释就可能是循环的。某些事实将表明,这些循环结构应该受到句法条件的制约,而不仅仅是解释条件。第二个问题是描述对缺失要素的解释过程。有两个选择:缺失的VP要么被直接解释为表示其先行词本身所表示的,要么被解释为超出LF-LF '的层次,在该层次上,它在句法上被表示为其先行词的副本。然后,它的先行词的外延不进入考虑,只有它的句法形式。如果被复制的VP与其先行词的句法形式不完全相同,则可以测试第二种选择。在特定的环境中,这种情况会发生,事实上,特定的语法条件对被复制的VP是非空的,而对先行VP是空的。这就证明了对缺失VP的解释是从它在句法上被表示为其先行词的复制的一个层次上进行的。关于这些环境,代词和回指语的正式表示与草率的读数的问题将得到解决。
Sentences with antecedent-contained VP-deletion such as (1) raise at least three questions. The first question relates to referential circularity: if the antecedent VP of (1) is compositionally dependent upon the anaphoric element, its interpretation threatens to be circular. Certain facts will show that these circular constructions should be subject to a syntactic condition, rather than a condition on interpretation alone. The second question is to describe the process of interpretation of the missing element. There are two choices: either the missing VP is directly inter preted as denoting what its antecedent itself denotes, or it is interpreted off a level beyond LF-LF'-at which it is syntactically represented as a copy of its antecedent. Then the denotation of its antecedent does not enter into account, only its syntactic form. The second alternative can be tested if the copied VP does not have exactly the same syntactic form as its antecedent. In certain environments, this can happen, and in fact certain grammatical conditions apply non-vacuously to the copied VP, whereas they apply vacuously to the antecedent VP. This constitutes proof that the interpretation of the missing VP is effected from a level at which it is syntactically represented as a copy of its antecedent. Concerning these environments, the question of the formal represen tation of pronouns and anaphors with sloppy readings will be addressed.
