Possible clashes between two iconic strategies
| Example | Person value of argument | Canonical Mapping | Resulting Clashes | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (a) | ‘I phoned him’ |
Subject: 1st person Object: Non-1st person |
Subject: Body = subject = 1st P Object: Body ≠ object ≠ non-1st P |
No clash |
| (b) | ‘You phoned her’ |
Subject: Non-1st person Object: Non-1st person |
Subject: Body = subject = 1st P Object: Body ≠ object ≠ non-1st P |
![]() Body = subject ≠ 1st P |
| (c) | ‘He phoned me’ |
Subject: Non-1st person (≠ body) Object: 1st person (= body) |
Subject: Body = subject = 1st P Object: Body ≠ object ≠ non-1st P |
![]() Body = subject ≠ 1st P Body = object = 1st P |
