Zusammenfassung:"Among the universal principles of linguistics are those known as the principles of the binding theory. These principles constrain the range of interpretations that can be assigned to sentences containing reflexives and reciprocals, pronouns, and referring expressions. The principle that is relevant for pronouns, Principle B, has provided a fertile ground for the study of linguistic development." "In this book the authors deepen and extend the results of years of developmental investigation of Principle B by studying the interaction of Principle B with verb phrase ellipsis and properties of the interpretation of empty pronouns in ellipsis - properties of "strict" and "sloppy" interpretation. This is the first experimental study of these topics in the developmental literature."--BOOK JACKET.
