Abstract:
The literature on resumptive pronouns (RPs) has given rise to a rich taxonomy of the phenomenon. Despite the fact that RPs invariably have the morphosyntactic form of ordinary pronouns, they vary widely in distribution and function. In some languages, RPs are grammatically licensed; depending on the language and the syntactic context, they might or might not realize traces, compete with gaps, exhibit reconstruction effects, and so on. This account predicts that in every language, regardless of whether it has grammatically licensed RPs, intrusive RPs could also be found. Their grammatically licensed RPs differ in form and distribution.
