Right Node Raising : Some Perspectives from Mandarin Chinese

Three dominant approaches have been proposed in the literature to account for the Right Node Raising (RNR) construction, in which a single constituent seems to be shared by two independent clauses. This paper looks at the relevant construction in Mandarin Chinese and proposes that the across-the-board movement analysis and the PF-deletion analysis might have difficulty in accounting for the facts, while the multidominance approach, with some assumptions, can properly capture the relevant linguistic data. The examples in Mandarin Chinese thus provide a window as to what an adequate theory of RNR might look like.
