Abstract

This study aims at analyzing the referential relations established between subjects in coordinate and adverbial (integrated and non-integrated) clauses. The observation of the behavior of these elements will provide clues regarding the properties of the omitted and overt subjects in these constructions and the syntactic structures of these sentences. To complement the theoretical approach, we built a Reference Judgment Task, to obtain all of the interpretations associated to each sentence. This study allowed us to understand the barrier betweten coordination and adverbial subordination goes beyond what is traditionally proposed.
