This volume presents studies on pronouns in embedded contexts and offers fundamental insights
into this central area of research. Much of the recent research on pronouns has shown that
embedded environments such as clausal complements of attitude predicates provide a window
into the nature of pronouns. Pronouns in such environments not only exhibit familiar
distinctions such as that between bound and referential pronouns if they refer to the attitude
holder they also participate in a broader range of phenomena e.g. distinguishing between a
de se reading (involving a conscious self-directed belief) and a de re reading (involving an
accidental belief about oneself). Topics covered include: the semantics of attitude reports
that contain pronominal elements the semantics of pronominal features and their connection to
indexicality new insights in the connection of pronominal typology and logophoricity or
anti-logophoricity and finally the localization of embedded pronouns within a bigger picture
involving the nature of perspective and the analysis of quasi-pronominal phenomena such as
sequence of tense.
