• W3141523785 abstract "Traditionally, such contrasts have been analyzed as lexical idiosyncrasy, so that the lexical entry of eat specifies that it allows IOs while that of devour specifies that it does not. More recent work, however, has attempted to explain such data in terms of pragmatics and discourse information. For example, it’s often argued that the content of an IO need to be “recoverable” in the discourse context (e.g., Resnik, 1993; Goldberg, 2001) In this paper, I examine two factors that contribute to this criterion of recoverability. First, I argue that recoverability is a matter of degree. At a minimum, one simply knows that an object exists; at a maximum, one knows exactly what it is; and there is plenty of middle ground in between. For an object to be omissible, it must be sufficiently recoverable along this continuum for speakers to pursue their communicative goals in the context. Second, I argue that a given object may easier to recover, and thus easier to omit, against the common ground of a particular community of practice in the sense of Eckert and McConell-Ginet (1992): A group of people who unite to pursue a common goal, such as a swim team or a law firm. I perform a few preliminary corpus studies to show that the same verb may appear with IOs in one community of practice more than others; for example, lift is more often used with an IO (understood as weights) in fitness magazines compared to a general corpus. By considering both speakers’ goals and the community’s common ground, I try to elaborate the criterion that an IO must be “recoverable,” because I think this criterion can explain a great deal of the messy data surrounding English IOs. Of course, some data will remain messy. Presumably Chinese speakers and English speakers are just as good at recovering information from the context, yet only Chinese speakers can omit the object of want; Bu yao (NEG WANT) means I don’t want it in Chinese, but the English Don’t want is quite unnatural. However, while discourse factors cannot explain every constraint on IOs, I will show that these factors can explain at least some of the data. I’ll sketch the scope of these data before I turn to the analysis. Although the literature (e.g., Fillmore, 1986) distinguishes between “indefinite” and “definite” IOs, I have some qualms about this distinction, which I elaborate in Section 4 (see also AnderBois, 2012; Scott, 2006). Therefore, I consider data from both sides of this distinction. However, I limit myself to IOs that seem to stand in for DP’s (rather than CP’s). I also don’t take a stand on whether IOs are represented in the semantics, as in e.g., AnderBois 2012, or whether the verbs are simply intransitive (λx.ate(x)) and a patient argument (the thing eaten) is pragmatically inferred (as in Recanati, 2007); the term “IO” is descriptive only." @default.
