This book not only gives a thorough description of the general distribution of resumptive pronouns in different contexts but also offers a theoretical account in the framework of the Minimalist Program. Different types of A'-dependencies, mediated by gaps and by resumptive pronouns, are derived by different minimalist mechanisms, such as Agree, Match and Move. These mechanisms only apply at Narrow Syntax and do not uniformly obey locality constraints. Importantly, interpretative properties of an A'-bound element, such as reconstruction effects, is only related to its internal structure irrespective of how the A'-chain concerned is derived. From this perspective, resumptivity is an exclusively syntactic-related phenomenon and is thus not subject to any interface condition. Adopting a comparative approach, this study improves the general understanding of resumptivity crosslinguistically.Trends in Linguistics:Studies and monographs.1861-4302 ;volume 298.Mandarin dialectsGrammar, Comparative and generalPronounChinese languageMandarin Chinese.Minimalist Program.Resumptive Pronoun.Mandarin dialects.Grammar, Comparative and generalPronoun.Chinese language.495.1/82421EG 9200rvkPan Victor Junnan1724691MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910813600803321Resumptivity in Mandarin Chinese4126976UNINA
