However, in the course of writing a version of this essay for the Cambridge Handbook of Generative Syntax, ...

Anaphora and Argument Structure: Topics in the Syntax and Semantics of Reflexives and Reciprocals

This thesis presents an examination of the syntactic and semantic properties of natural language reflexive and reciprocal expressions, which are commonly referred to as anaphors in syntactic theory. The work is carried out in the broader context of ‘binding theory’ and ‘control theory’. Binding theory has two main aspects.
