Abstract:
Η Ελληνική αποτελεί τυπική γλώσσα απαλοιφής υποκειµένου (pro-drop language), δηλαδή επιτρέπει την παράλειψη των αντωνυµιών στη θέση του εµφανούς υποκειµένου προτάσεων. Παρόλο που γενικά προτιµώνται δοµές µε µηδενικό υποκείµενο, υπάρχει και η επιλογή µιας πιο χαρακτηρισµένης αναφορικής έκφρασης όπως ο πλήρης αντωνυµικός τύπος αυτός ή το αναφορικό στοιχείο ο ίδιος. Το γεγονός αυτό εγείρει δύο σηµαντικά ζητήµατα: (α) Τι συµβαίνει όταν η αντωνυµία αυτός ή το αναφορικό στοιχείο ο ίδιος χρησιµοποιούνται αντί της µηδενικής αντωνυµίας; και (β) Ποιες είναι οι αρχές που ακολουθούν οι οµιλητές στη χρήση και ερµηνεία αυτών των αναφορικών εκφράσεων; Με βάση θεωρίες όπως των Levinson (1987, 1991, 2000) και Huang (2000, 2007) υποστηρίζεται ότι η προτίµηση για εκπεφρασµένη αναφορική έκφραση αντί της µηδενικής σχετίζεται µε το αξίωµα του τρόπου του Levinson «µην χρησιµοποιείς µια περίπλοκη, ασαφή ή µαρκαρισµένη έκφραση χωρίς λόγο». Μια λύση αποτελεί η πρόταση να θεωρηθεί ότι αυτός ο «λόγος» σχετίζεται µε µια διαζευκτική ή µια πιο µαρκαρισµένη ερµηνεία µε όρους «µη προβλεψιµότητας».
