Wiki Version:
I will be available to chat over zoom at these times: <br>Fri April 10, 5-6pm CEST <br>Mon April 13, 4-5pm CEST <br>Thurs April 16, 4-5pm CEST I am also very happy to discuss things over email (elsi.kaiser@gmail.com) and with the comment function on OSF. A PDF of the slides and a video presentation are linked below. <p> SHORT ABSTRACT: Language contains a variety of different kinds of perspective-sensitive elements, e.g. predicates of personal taste (PPTs, tasty, fun), epithets (the idiot), logophoric reflexives (e.g. representational NPs, picture of herself). These refer to the point-of-view of an individual, sometimes referred to as the perspectival center. We report two experiments on the interpretation of (i) subjective adjectives (predicates of personal taste, PPTs) and (ii) logophoric anaphors (reflexives and pronouns) in Representational NPs (RNPs, e.g. photograph of her/herself), with the aim of investigating whether the process of identifying the judge of PPTs and the process of identifying the antecedent of perspective-sensitive anaphora are connected. We find no evidence that judge identification of PPTs and the perspectival anchor targeted by logophoric reflexives/pronouns go hand-in-hand. Instead, our findings suggest that suggests interpretation of evaluative content (PPT judges) needs to be distinguished from interpretation of non-evaluative content (referential dependencies), even when both are perspective-sensitive.
