— 1 — Summary of Two Types of Dependency

Anaphoric relations have long been one of the main subjects in linguistics and philosophy, and various interesting paradigms have been discovered in the course of the research. My thesis discusses e following long-standing issues, on the basis of new sets of data mainly drawn from Japanese. (1) Is the availability of coreference regulated by Grammar? (section 2 below) (2) Is the so-called donkey anaphora to be represented in the same way as bound variable anaphora (BVA), as argued in Heim (1982) and others? (section 3 below) (3) How is an E-type link (such as in (4)) represented in Grammar? (section 5 below) (4) Most students came. They are diligent. In this summary, I introduce my answers to (1)-(3) presented in the thesis sometimes using rather informal terms. In what follows, 'Ch.## ' means the chapter in my thesis. 2. Coreference and dependency Let us begin with (1). Evans (1980) and Reinhart (1983), among others, consider that "dependency coreference " (coreference in which one NP is referentially dependent on the other) should be distinguished from "non-dependency coreference " (coreference between two independently "referential " NPs), so to speak. Japanese provides perfect examples which empirically support this distinction. There are two series o
