The literature on resumptive pronouns (RPs) has given rise to a rich taxonomy of the phenomenon. Despite the fact that RPs invariably have the morphosyntactic form of ordinary pronouns, they vary widely in distribution and function. In some languages, RPs are grammatically licensed; depending on the language and the syntactic context, they might or might not realize traces, compete with gaps, exhibit reconstruction effects, and so on. In other languages, notably English, RPs are ‘intrusive’ (Sells 1984). Kroch (1981), Asudeh (2004), Morgan and Wagers (2018), and others have proposed that intrusive RPs in English are ungrammatical products of the performance system—productions that satisfy local well-formedness but not global well-formedness. This account predicts that in every language, regardless of whether it has grammatically licensed RPs, intrusive RPs could also be found. Here we test this prediction against evidence from Chamorro and Palauan. Previous accounts have maintained that Chamorro does not have RPs and Palauan has only RPs. On the basis of corpus and elicited production data from Chamorro, and a re-examination of the Palauan evidence, we argue that both languages have grammatically licensed RPs, as well as intrusive RPs. Their grammatically licensed RPs differ in form and distribution. At least in Chamorro, the distribution of intrusive RPs produced is similar to that in English.

关于侵入性恢复的普遍性:来自查莫洛和帕劳的证据

关于恢复代词 (RP) 的文献已经对该现象进行了丰富的分类。尽管 RP 总是具有普通代词的形态句法形式,但它们在分布和功能上差异很大。在某些语言中,RP 是有语法许可的;根据语言和句法上下文,它们可能会或可能不会意识到痕迹、与差距竞争、表现出重建效果等。在其他语言中,尤其是英语,RP 是“侵入性的”(Sells 1984)。Kroch (1981)、Asudeh (2004)、Morgan 和 Wagers (2018) 以及其他人提出,英语中的侵入性 RP 是表演系统的不合语法的产物——满足局部良构但不满足全局良构的产物。该帐户预测,在每种语言中,无论是否具有语法许可的 RP,也可以发现侵入性RP。在这里,我们根据来自查莫洛和帕劳的证据来检验这一预测。以前的帐户一直认为查莫洛没有 RP,而帕劳只有 RP。基于来自查莫洛语的语料库和引出的生产数据,以及对帕劳证据的重新审查,我们认为这两种语言都有语法许可的 RP,以及侵入性 RP。它们的语法许可 RP 在形式和分布上有所不同。至少在查莫洛语中,产生的侵入性 RP 的分布与英语相似。并重新检查帕劳证据,我们认为这两种语言都有语法许可的 RP,以及侵入性 RP。它们的语法许可 RP 在形式和分布上有所不同。至少在查莫洛语中,产生的侵入性 RP 的分布与英语相似。并重新检查帕劳证据,我们认为这两种语言都有语法许可的 RP,以及侵入性 RP。它们的语法许可 RP 在形式和分布上有所不同。至少在查莫洛语中,产生的侵入性 RP 的分布与英语相似。
