Abstract:
This paper investigates the various properties of the so-called Left-Node Raising (LNR) construction, including its interpretation when a summative or symmetrical predicate occurs at the left periphery. While previous authors focused on the syntactic connection between a coordinate phrase and its shared element at the left periphery, the exact compositional mechanism for the interpretation of the LNR construction has remained unaddressed in the literature. The author argues that the proposed analysis straightforwardly captures not only the interpretation of the LNR construction with summative/symmetrical predicates, but also the other properties such as occurrence of the plural marker -tul, case-matching patterns, long-distance dependency, and island insensitivity.
Keywords:
Hybrid Type-Logical Categorial Grammar; Left-Node Raising construction; Summative predicate; Symmetrical predicate; ‘Respective’ reading
