{"product_id":"9781881526759","title":"Context and Binding in Japanese","description":"This volume investigates the proper treatment of the semantic or discourse aspects of zibun-binding and their interaction with syntax. It argues against the disjunctive theory of zibun-binding based on the observation that having two different binding mechanisms makes wrong predictions about various zibun-binding facts. It proposes instead a conjunctive binding theory according to which a syntactic condition and a discourse condition must both be satisfied by any use of zibun. In this theory, syntax imposes a minimal constraint on the structural relation between zibun and its antecedent which applies to any and every instance of zibun-binding, and there is a discourse condition which also must be met to license any actual interpretation.","brand":"Center for the Study of Language and Inf","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47059269845232,"sku":"9781881526759","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781881526759","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
