Title
Reflexives and TAG Semantics
Abstract
Nesson and Shieber (2006) argue that the synchronous TAG (STAG) formalism pro- vides an empirically adequate, yet for- mally restrictive solution to the problem of associating semantic interpretations with TAG derivations. In this paper, I further explore this approach, focusing on the se- mantics of reflexives. I find that STAG indeed permits a simple analysis of core cases of reflexives. This analysis does not, however, easily extend to contexts in which the reflexive and its antecedent are arguments of distinct elementary trees. I consider three possible extensions to the analysis which remedy these difficulties.
