The Extended Binding Theory of Anaphors

(l) (A) An anaphor is bound in its governing category. (B) A pronominal is free in its governing category. (i) (3 is a governing category for a if and only if {3 is the minimal category containing a, a governor of a, and a SUBJECT accessible to a. (ii) A SUBJECT is AGR or the subject of an infinitive, a gerund, an NP or a small clause. (iii) a is accessible to (3 if and only if (3 is in the c-command domain of a and assignment to (3 of the index of a would not violate * [ r'o., ']' where rand 0 bear the same index.
