This volume presents studies on pronouns in embedded contexts, and offers fundamental insights into this central area of research. Much of the recent research on pronouns has shown that embedded environments, such as clausal complements of attitude predicates, provide a window into the nature of pronouns. Pronouns in such environments not only exhibit familiar distinctions such as that between bound and referential pronouns; if they refer to the attitude holder, they also participate in a broader range of phenomena, e.g., distinguishing between a de se reading (involving a conscious self-directed belief) and a de re reading (involving an accidental belief about oneself). Topics covered include: the semantics of attitude reports that contain pronominal elements, the semantics of pronominal features and their connection to indexicality, new insights in the connection of pronominal typology and logophoricity or anti-logophoricity, and finally, the localization of embedded pronouns within a bigger picture involving the nature of perspective and the analysis of quasi-pronominal phenomena such as sequence of tense.

Pronouns in Embedded Contexts at the Syntax-Semantics Interface

Flere og flere børn har symptomer på stress. Det gør ondt i maven, mor er omsorgsfuld hjælp til forældre – uden løftede pegefingre, men med ærlige historier fra forfatternes (uperfekte) liv som mødre og fra begges psykologiske praksis. Gennemgående ville mange børn få det langt bedre, hvis forældre så ærligt på sig selv og deres eget liv. Børneopdragelse handler ikke om at fikse børnene – men om at kunne mærke sig selv. Børn spørger os nemlig hver dag: "Ser du mig?" "Er jeg værdsat?" "Hvordan gør jeg en forskel i dit liv?" Svarer vi ikke med nærvær, ærlighed og sårbarhed, taber vi den dybe relation, der er helt afgørende for børns trivsel.
