The project investigates objects that are syntactically particularly closely integrated (so-called pseudo-incorporated objects), their semantic interpretation and their ability to be picked up by anaphoric expressions. This is done using the example of bare objects in Persian (as in "film di-dam", 'I have seen a film / films’) and of weak definitions in German (as in "Wir sind ins Kino gegangen"). It is widely assumed that such objects do not introduce discourse referents and are therefore not accessible for anaphoric expressions, except possibly by associative anaphors. Our project has shown experimentally that such expressions are taken up somewhat less often in discourse, but that they are taken up more often than expected from previous work. This is consistent with the theoretical suggestion of Krifka & Modarresi (2016). The planned continuation of 18 months has, on the one hand, the goal of finalizing some of the project's work packages. This was not possible in the first phase because of the disadvantageous choice of an experimental procedure (self-paced reading) and because a planned research semester for the PI was not feasible. In the extension phase, the tried and tested method of sentence completion as well as a new, very promising method (two antecedent candidates) will be used to gain further knowledge about the anaphoric potential of these objects. Furthermore, additional predictions from the structural assumption of Krifka & Modarresi are to be tested (in particular the totality effect in the interpretation of the anaphoric element and the investigation of the anaphoric potential of expressions in constructions that are structured similarly according to our hypothesis, so-called donkey sentences) . In addition, we plan to investigate the anaphoric potential of indefinites marked with the suffix "-i" in contrast to mere objects and indefinites marked with "yek". We plan for several special publications and a more comprehensive final publication.

该项目调查了句法上紧密结合的宾语(所谓的伪并入宾语)、它们的语义解释以及它们被回指表达拾取的能力。这是通过使用波斯语中的裸体的例子来实现的(如在“Film di-dam”中，‘我已经看过一部电影/电影’)和在德语中的弱定义(如在“Wir sind ins Kino gegangen”中)。人们普遍认为，这类宾语不引入话语指称，因此不能用于回指表达，除非可能通过联想回指。我们的项目已经通过实验表明，这类表达在语篇中的使用频率较低，但它们的使用频率高于之前的研究。这与克里夫卡和莫达雷西(2016)的理论建议是一致的。计划持续18个月，一方面是为了最后确定该项目的一些工作方案。这在第一阶段是不可能的，因为实验程序的选择是不利的(自定进度的阅读)，而且计划的PI研究学期是不可行的。在引申阶段，将使用经过检验的句子补全方法以及一种新的、非常有前途的方法(两个先行候选项)来进一步了解这些宾语的回指潜力。此外，还需要检验Krifka和Modarresi的结构假设中的其他预测(特别是对回指成分的解释中的总体效应，以及对根据我们的假设结构相似的结构中的表达的回指潜势的调查，即所谓的驴子句子)。此外，我们还计划考察后缀“-i”标记的不定词与单纯的宾语和标记为“yek”的不定词的回指潜势。我们计划出版几份特别出版物和一份更全面的最终出版物。
