Abstract

The tutorial gave an overview of the treatment of variable binding in natural language semantics. A set of data was singled out, two families of approaches to deal with reflexivity were presented which yield a comparable data coverage, and the cross-linguistic variation of reflexivization strategies was reviewed. The modelling options map neatly onto the variation found in natural language.
