Modification by depictives: In favor of a binding-based account
Abstract
In this paper, I use the properties of depictives in Digor and Iron Ossetic, two closely related Iranian languages of the Caucasus, to argue in favor of binding-based accounts of the depictive-host relationship. I show that anaphor binding and the ability to host depictives in these languages pattern together – the two properties define identical, and nontrivial, classes of syntactic positions. I proceed to propose a parameterization of the analysis and show that it indeed accounts for a variety of attested depictive systems.
