Linguistic Flashmob 3 December 2020: "Binding" with Eric Reuland and Sandhya Sundaresan (Moderatore: Alessandra Giorgi)

 

On December 3rd, prof. Reuland from Utrecht University and prof. Sundaresan from University of Göttingen had a heated "fight" about the topic of Binding! The three questions of the debate are as follows:




1. What is your definition of anaphor?
2. What are the locality conditions on different types of anaphors?
3. Are grammatical or morphological features relevant in the distribution of anaphors?


The slides of prof. Sundaresan can be downloaded here:
