Cole, Hermon, and Yanti (2015) argue that the empirical facts related to anaphoric binding in two dialects of Jambi Malay undermine the Classical Binding Theory. Reuland (2017) agrees with this conclusion but argues that the data are easily accounted for by his alternative Universal Grammar-based approach to Binding. In this response, we demonstrate that the alternative proposal for Jambi Malay rests on claims about the language that are incorrect. While we do not, indeed cannot, demonstrate that it is impossible for a Universal Grammar based proposal to account for the facts as outlined in CHY (2015), we conclude that those facts remain an outstanding challenge.
科尔、赫蒙和扬蒂(2015)认为,占碑马来语两种方言中与照应约束相关的实证事实,破坏了经典约束理论。鲁兰(2017)同意这一结论,但认为他的替代基于普遍语法的约束理论的方法可以轻易解释这些数据。在本回应中,我们表明,针对占碑马来语的替代方案基于关于该语言的不正确主张。虽然我们确实不能证明基于普遍语法的提议不可能解释 CHY(2015)中所述的事实,但我们得出的结论是,这些事实仍然是一个悬而未决的挑战。
