A Movement Theory of Anaphora

More about the book

Focusing on the movement theory of anaphora, this book explores how anaphoric relations are formed through the movement of pro, challenging traditional binding theory. It addresses significant theoretical implications related to reconstruction effects and pro-drop phenomena, situating these discussions within the framework of the Minimalist Program. The collaboration between Hornstein and Kayne emphasizes the need to recapture rules of construal through the operation Move, offering fresh insights into linguistic theory.
