Exploring the Boundary between Syntax and Pragmatics: Relevance and the Binding of Pronouns.
Foster-Cohen, Susan H.
Journal of Child Language, v21 n1 p237-55 Feb 1994
A set of predictions based on Reinhart's (1986) Theory of Relevance are evaluated against published results of tests of Binding Theory. Relevance Theory provides a means of understanding constraints on testing syntactic knowledge. Pragmatic factors must be systematically controlled in any evaluation of syntactic knowledge. (Contains 22 references.) (Author)
