这本原创论文集是对近期互惠性和反身性理论和跨语言工作的代表性综述。它最显着的特点是将形式方法、个别语言的案例研究和广泛的类型学调查结合在一本书中,表明语法和类型学的形式方法的相互作用可能会给这两个领域带来新的见解和结果。本书讨论的主要问题如下:如何在互惠的结构类型学中捕获我们当前有关相关领域的空间和变化限制的知识?这种类型学可以为特定语言或语言群(例如南岛语)的事实提供什么启示?如何将最近的描述性和类型学见解纳入约束理论的修订版和更充分的版本中?言语语义、论证结构和相互标记如何相互作用?我们如何解释在这两个领域中观察到的普遍的歧义模式,特别是使用相同的形式作为反身标记和相互标记?互惠标记历史发展的主要来源是什么?大规模类型学调查与对特定语言的深入研究相结合,为老问题提供了新答案,并为未来的研究提出了重要的新问题。
This collection of original papers is a representative survey of recent theoretical and cross-linguistic work on reciprocity and reflexivity. Its most remarkable feature isits combination offormal approaches, case studies on individual languages and broad typological surveys in one volume, showing that the interaction of formal approaches to grammar and typology may lead to new insights and results for both fields. Among the major issues addressed in this volume are the following: How can our current knowledge about the space and limits of variation in the relevant domain be captured in a structural typology of reciprocity? What light can such a typology shed on the facts of particular languages or groups of languages (e.g. Austronesian)? How can recent descriptive and typological insights be incorporated into a revised and more adequate version of the Binding Theory? How do verbal semantics, argument structure and reciprocal markers interact? How can we explain the pervasive patterns of ambiguity observable in these two domains, especially the use of the same forms both as reflexive and reciprocal markers? What are the major sources in the historical development of reciprocal markers? This combination of large-scale typological surveys with in-depth studies of particular languages provides new answers to old questions and raises important new questions for future research.
