About the author
Jacek Witkoś is Professor of Linguistics at the Adam Mickiewicz University (AMU), Poznań. He has authored over eighty publications on various aspects of Slavic morphosyntax.
Paulina Łęska and Aleksandra Gogłoza are Ph.D. students at AMU and Humboldt University of Berlin, respectively, and Dominika Dziubała-Szrejbrowska reads English grammar at AMU Faculty of Modern Languages.
About the book
One of the well-known properties of Slavic languages is that they show subject-oriented reflexives. This book presents this phenomenon in Polish in great empirical detail and provides its up-to-date syntactic analysis, couched in the minimalist model of grammar. The analysis accounts for the fact that not only nominative subjects but also experiencers, both dative-marked and some accusative-marked, function as antecedents for reflexive elements. On the basis of empirical studies, the book explains why dative experiencers bind both reflexive and pronominal possessives in identical local configurations, while nominatve subjects bind only reflexive possessives. The authors investigate both long-distance binding relations in infinitives and contexts internal to nominal phrases. Extensive references are made to binding in other languages and alternative models.
This eBook can be cited
This edition of the eBook can be cited. To enable this we have marked the start and end of a page. In cases where a word straddles a page break, the marker is placed inside the word at exactly the same position as in the physical book. This means that occasionally a word might be bifurcated by this marker.
