Abstract

An attractive feature of the formalism of synchronous tree adjoining grammar (STAG) is its potential to handle linguistic phenomena whose syntactic and semantic derivations seem to diverge. Recent work has aimed at adapting STAG to capture such cases. Anaphors, including both reflexives and reciprocals, have presented a particular challenge due to the locality constraints imposed by the STAG formalism. Previous attempts to model anaphors in STAG have focused specifically on reflexives and have not expanded to incorporate reciprocals. We show how STAG can not only capture the syntactic distribution and semantic representation of both reflexives and reciprocals, but also do so in a unified way.
