What is Anaphora and Binding about?

This paper analyzes the ways in which anaphora and binding operate in Tuki. We claim that the AGR element in INFL does not play a role in the determination of a governing category for anaphors in Tuki. To capture the fact that the domain in which Tuki anaphors are bound is distinct from the domain in which Tuki pronouns are free, we have adopted Chomsky's (1986) proposal that the relevant minimal governing category for an N P (pronoun or anaphor) is the least complete functional complex containing a governor of N P in which N P could satisfy the binding theory with some indexing. It is argued that the framework of Chomsky (following Lebeaux 1983) is more elegent and less complicated than Chomsky (1981) and Huang (1982), and therefore the latter approaches should be discarded. This paper thus provides more support for Chomsky (1986).
