Abstract Rioplatense Spanish Clitic Left Dislocations with epithets contain a left-dislocated direct object DP, an in situ direct object epithet DP, and a direct object clitic, all three apparently referring to the same event participant. Previous proposals have focused on syntactic licensing mechanisms but how the epithet’s meaning is integrated in the sentence has not been addressed. We assume a multi-propositional framework to first show that these sentences encode two propositions, one at-issue (asserted) and one not-at-issue (non-asserted). The content of the epithet is absent from the at-issue proposition and is interpreted as a main semantic predicate in the not-at-issue proposition. Furthermore, we argue that this not-at-issue predication is best understood as a conventional implicature. Second, the epithet has been assumed to (unproblematically) pick up the left-dislocated DP as subject of predication. However, with quantified DPs and in intensional contexts the subject of predication may be different from the left-dislocated DP. The behavior of the epithet in these cases is shown to be similar to the behavior of pronouns in intersentential anaphora, thus suggesting that the syntax of this construction is underlyingly biclausal.

带有词义的西班牙文评论性左脱位的语义

摘要带有上标的Rioplatense西班牙Clitic左错位包含一个左错位的直接对象DP，一个原位直接对象的上位词DP和一个直接对象clitic，这三个对象显然都指向同一事件参与者。先前的建议集中在句法许可机制上，但是还没有解决上位词在句子中的含义如何被整合的问题。我们假设一个多命题框架首先显示这些句子编码两个命题，一个命题（断言）和一个不命题（非断言）。在主题时命题中缺少上位词的内容，并且将其解释为在问题时命题中的主要语义谓词。此外，我们认为，最好将这种非问题判断作为一种常规含义。第二，假设该上位者（毫无疑问地）选择左移位的DP作为预测对象。但是，在定量DPs和内涵语境下，预测的主题可能与左位DP有所不同。在这些情况下，称谓词的行为与句间照应中代词的行为相似，因此表明这种结构的句法在本质上是双月经的。
