Reconstruction as delayed evaluation 1

Winter, and an anonymous referee. Special thanks to Pauline Jacobson for extensive and incisive discussion. The analysis presented in this paper is a modest extension of joint work with Chung-chieh Shan (see Shan and Barker 2006 and Barker and Shan 2006), and many of the insights developed here are due to conversations with Shan. However, I have drawn conclusions here that Shan may not necessarily endorse. Therefore I will speak of " our analysis " , meaning Shan and Barker (2006), but I will express opinions about the interpretation of that analysis in the first person singular. Finally, I must acknowledge my debt to David Dowty. On one level, this paper explores the idea that pronouns are scope-taking elements, an unusual idea also proposed by Dowty in, e.g., Dowty (2007). But the true debt goes far, far deeper: for evidence, argumentation, explicitness, scholarship, intuition, depth, and lasting insight, David's work remains my inspiration, my model, my touchstone for recognizing genuine semantics.
