Consider the sentences below, which give us more information about the distribution of hans. Above you concluded that hans was either an anaphor or a pronoun. Explain whether the sentences below are consistent with your conclusion or not.

1) Dave(k) spiste hans( j/∗k)         mat.

Dave ate       POSS . HANS      food

‘Dave ate his food.’

 

 

2) Daves(i) far(k)        spiste hans(i/∗k)                       mat.

Dave’s father ate               POSS . HANS                  food

‘Dave’s dad ate his food.’


In light of your conclusion, consider the English sentences in (3). Explain why it’s hard to identify his as a strict anaphor or pronoun.

(3a) Dave(k) said that Natasha(i) ate his(k) food.

b) Dave(k) ate his(k) food.
