The blocking effect in Vietnamese
This article explores a restriction on non-local binding in Vietnamese—the blocking effect—including a systematic comparison with its Mandarin Chinese counterpart. Our finding is that the blocking effect in Vietnamese appeared to be rather different from that in Mandarin but, in fact, employs essentially the same syntactic mechanism. While binding of Mandarin ziji is governed by a [+participant] feature, binding of the Vietnamese anaphor mình is …
(Under)specification Counts
We explore the proposal in Charnavel 2019, 2020 that nonlocal anaphor binding is only apparent and reduces to local binding by a silent pronominal element-prolog-as the subject of a logophoric operator OPLOG in the left periphery of the anaphor's local domain. Like any pronominal, prolog can be valued by a distant antecedent and should license split antecedents and partial binding for the anaphor it binds. We show that φ-deficient anaphors in dif…
On Realizing External Arguments
We present an account of why disjoint reference effects obtain in verbal but not in adjectival passives. Passives in child language are independently argued to always be adjectival, which allows us to use a natural experiment in child grammar that is not available in the adult grammar: predicting the lack of a disjoint reference effect in even those passives that prima facie seem verbal. We conduct our discussion against the background of the dif…
Agreeing to bind
This contribution offers an analysis of the structural constraints on the interpretation of the Russian anaphoric expressions sebja and svoj. It accounts for a number of intricate binding patterns, such as the ‘animacy effect’ in the case of non-local binding and apparent irregularities in subject orientation and complementarity in local and long-distance binding. We show that these patterns can be accounted for in a unified manner by Multiple Ag…
Puzzling patterns in non-finite forms
This contribution addresses the general theme of Multifunctionality and syncretism in non-finite forms . When we see a particular form in a number of different environments yielding different effects, what does it mean to say that this reflects multifunctionality rather than syncretism? As a refinement of multifunctionality the notion of ‘multi-effectuality’ is introduced: one element participates in different derivations, performing one and the …
How the Complexity of MandarinZi-jiSimplifies the Grammar
It is generally assumed that Mandarin Chinese has a complex anaphor ta ziji, which is locally bound (Condition A of the canonical binding theory; Chomsky 1981), and another anaphor, ziji, which can be locally and nonlocally bound, as in (1).Ziji’s internal structure is subject to debate. The dominant position is that it is simplex and that this property enables its nonlocal binding (Battistella 1987, 1989, Pica 1987, 1991, Cole, Hermon, and Sung …
Logophoricity
This chapter presents an overview of the main issues in current discussion of logophoricity. Logophoric pronouns and free anaphors with logophoric interpretation give rise to the following questions: (i) How can logophoric interpretation be characterized? (ii) How can free anaphors escape the locality conditions on anaphor binding? (iii) Is long‐distance anaphora a unified phenomenon? (iv) How can free anaphors be interpreted as logophors, althou…
Long‐Distance Binding in Germanic Languages
This chapter provides an overview of non‐local binding patterns in the major Germanic languages, including Faroese, and a note on Frisian and Yiddish. It addresses the question of why non‐local binding in Dutch and German is much more limited than non‐local binding in the Scandinavian languages. It puts this contrast in the context of earlier discussions of parameterizing binding domains, but shows how in fact no reference to binding‐specific par…
Logophoric Anaphora in Icelandic
This chapter reviews the interplay between structural factors and discourse factors in the interpretation of the third‐person anaphor sig in Icelandic. It focuses on the question of whether the interpretation of long‐distance sig in subjunctive and infinitival domains is subject to the same conditions. More specifically, it addresses the roles of c‐command and perspective in the interpretation of sig . Results from the literature indicate that th…
Reflexives and Reflexivity
This article provides an overview of the various means that languages use to represent interpretive dependencies and reflexive predicates. These means are exemplified on the basis of a broad variety of languages. The patterns are prima facie complex, involving semireflexives, full reflexives, and affixal reflexives. Yet they can be accounted for on the basis of the morphosyntactic properties of the elements involved, together with the way these e…
Reflexivity without reflexives
What prevents pronominals from being locally bound? Does this a) reflect an intrinsic property of pronominals (Chomsky 1981), is it b) a relative (economy) effect, that only shows up where there is a more dedicated competitor (see from different perspectives, Safir 2004, Boeckx, Hornstein and Nunes 2007, Levinson 2000), does it c) have a semantic basis as in Schlenker (2005), or does it d) follow from general conditions on agree based chains, and…

Imagination, Planning, and Working Memory
Imagination (leading to planning, culture, "theory of mind") is a powerful property of the human mind. This article will focus on the relation between imagination, planning, and language. Language is a systematic mapping between arbitrary forms in a medium and interpretations. Its minimal units-words-combine an instruction for realization with an instruction for interpretation. A crucial condition for language to emerge is the ability to access a…

Primitives of Binding
This article explains the conditions on the binding of pronouns, simplex anaphors, and complex anaphors, distinguishing the roles of the computational system, interpretive procedures, and discourse storage. It argues for a general principle of economy counting interpretive steps. Locality conditions on binding are shown to follow from this economy principle and independent principles of (minimalist) syntax, providing the means to encode certain d…
Anaphors, Logophors, And Binding
This chapter contributes to our understanding of what has come to be known as the free, or logophoric, use of anaphors. It provides comparison of the interpretation of sig in subjunctive and infinitival clauses, summarizing some of the considerations given in Reuland and Sigurjonsdottir. The discussion of this use of sig is generally conducted against the background of two assumptions: (i) sig is anaphor and (ii) anaphors must be bound. The latte…

Long Distance Anaphora
There are a number of persistent anomalies in binding theory. One is the lack of an integrated view of long distance anaphora. Anaphors generally require an antecedent, but languages have been shown to show striking differences as to where such antecedents may occur. This volume is a collection of original articles by distinguished contributors on the nature of anaphoric systems in a wide variety of genetically and structurally different language…
