Anaphoricity and Logophoricity with reference to Binding Principles.

Classical/Standard Binding Theory was inadequate to discuss the differences in the way anaphoric relations are elicited across languages. And, Minimalism did not give any attention on the concepts which are central to the Binding theory besides did provide an alternative to account for anaphoricity and logophoricity. Although the parametric approach outlined in Manzini and Wexler seems to be a promising one, it predates Minimalism and hence does not focus some of the problems that are related to anaphora. This seems to suggest that we must look elsewhere for factors that define something as complex as anaphora. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
