In Anaphora and Conceptual Structure, Karen van Hoek presents a compelling analysis of the constraints on pronominal anaphora within the framework of Cognitive Grammar. Van Hoek demonstrates that these constraints can be best explained in terms of semantic interactions between nominals and the context in which they are embedded and that no resort to autonomous syntactic structures or principles such as c-command is warranted.
Integrating the results of previous work, van Hoek develops a model in which some nominals function as "conceptual reference points" that dominate over stretches defined by the semantic relations among elements. When a full noun phrase is in the domain of a reference point, coreference is ruled out, since the speaker would be sending contradictory messages about the salience of the noun's referent.
With profound implications for the nature of syntax, this book will interest theoretical linguists of all persuasions.
