  • Contrast, Discourse Prominence, and Intensification, with Special Reference to Locally Free Reflexives in British English

    C L BakerARTICLELanguage1995Cited by: 17

    Locally free reflexives in British English are best analyzed as intensified nonnominative pronouns, subject to two conditions that regulate English intensive NPs generally: (a) a contrastiveness requirement and (b) a requirement that the character being referred to be more important or more central than other characters included in the contrast set. The latter ‘discourse prominence’ requirement is similar to the one that regulates proximate marki…

  • Global Rules: A Rejoinder

    C L Baker, Clifford Baker et al.ARTICLELanguage1972Cited by: 3

    Lakoff 1970 offers seven sets of data which he believes furnish support for revising current models of syntactic description in such a way as to allow global rules, i.e. rules that make reference to more than a single point in a derivation. A close examination of these data reveals that only two sets cannot be given an adequate treatment within the framework sketched in Chomsky 1965; and even these two sets do not warrant the wide-ranging extensi…
