Dependencias locales y anáforas vacías en euskara

Laburpena

The paper is a summary of Abaitua's 1988 Doctoral Dissertation. Complex predicates in Basque are analysed and formalised in the Lexical Functional Grammar framework of Bresnan 1982. The work builds on previous achievements of Abaitua 1985 and Carroll and Abaitua 1987, as well as on the analyses of lshikawa 1985 and Kameyama 1985 for Japanese. Complex predicates are treated as containing local dependencies which notably differ from anaphoric dependencies. A syntactic analysis is provided that takes into account both lexical as well as discourse factors.
