Breaking the Coreference Rule

September 24, 2010

(with Vadim Kimmelman)

In this talk we present a detailed description of the behaviour of various classes of (anaphoric) pronouns in three dialects of the Russian Sign Language and compare them with the distribution of similar pronouns in Turkish.

Keywords: syntax, semantics, binding theory, Russian Sign Language, Turkish, coreference

This is a peer-reviewed talk at the Peculiar Binding Configurations workshop at the University of Stuttgart.

I’m Pavel Rudnev, and this is my personal website. I’m a research fellow and lecturer in linguistics at HSE University in Moscow. My main area of interest is syntax and its interfaces with sound and meaning. In particular, my current research revolves around the structure of nominal expressions, agreement, case and verbal morphosyntax in East Caucasian languages, and the syntax-to-phonology mapping in Russian Sign Language.
