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 languages,
and it examines the general laws underlying the apparent diversity
of data from the perspective of current linguistic theory. There is
a surprising degree of convergence in the analyses proposed. A
substantive introduction summarises and discusses the main results,
providing an integrative picture of individual and common results.
This is the first representative collection of articles on this
important topic. It is both conceptually coherent and of real
theoretical importance.
