resumptive

There are two main views regarding the existence of resumptive pronouns.

Development schemes may take the form of resumptive or guided schemes.

Resumptive pronouns are therefore generally in complementary distribution with traces.

In these cases, there is a resumptive pronoun in the relative clause.

(Similar to the previous, but with the resumptive pronoun fronted.

The subject can be moved to the beginning of sentences if it is long and is followed by a resumptive pronoun.

The resumptive pronoun never appears in subject function.

Resumptive pronouns in English behave differently from in other languages.

If the head of the relative clause uses any other case or adposition, a resumptive pronoun is used.

The issues with resumptive pronoun extractability clearly follow from syntactic principles.

Crucial to understanding resumptive pronouns is grasping the concept of their counterpart: the trace.

An English speaker might use a resumptive pronoun in order to prevent violations of syntactic constraints.

Aspects of stage continue through progressive, pausative, resumptive, cessive, and terminative.

Yiddish is another example of a language that uses resumptive pronouns readily, as can be seen in the example below.

The Bajorans had run the station for nearly a week already, and there clearly had been no reinitialization into a resumptive condition.

To develop this account we must claim that resumptive pronouns and traces are not differentiated in the English lexicon.

Since resumptive pronouns and traces may not be differentiated in the English lexicon, the definition of one requires information about the other.

If the accusative reading is intended, one could use an indirect relative with a resumptive pronoun:

Classical Arabic, for example, only allows gapping in the subject and sometimes the direct object; beyond that, a resumptive pronoun must be used.

Resumptive modifier: My father ate the muffin, a muffin which no man had yet chewed.

(Classical Arabic, where the case marking indicates something else, uses a resumptive pronoun.)

Unlike other Semitic languages in Sabaean resumptive pronouns are only rarely found.

From the structural perspective, resumptive pronouns have been called a "cross between a trace morpheme and a regular pronoun".

Since distance is generally irrelevant to syntactic principles, it is difficult to build a grammatical account of English resumptive pronouns in such terms.

In some languages, resumptive pronouns and traces seem to alternate relatively freely, as the Romani examples in (9) illustrate.
