In this dissertation I propose an analysis of anaphoric \nbinding based on a feature-checking mechanism (Pesetsky & Torrego \n2007), by introducing the feature rho, a formalization of the \nreflexivity proposal of Reinhart and Reuland 1993. I argue that the \nrho feature is responsible for establishing coreference between an \nanaphor and its antecedent, by being present and valued on reflexives \nwhile being unvalued on a higher phrasal head. Valuation of rho under \nAgree results in the introduction of a lambda-operator, which binds \nthe reflexive variable, thereby establishing the coreference between an \nanaphor and its antecedent. Central to the workings of this theory is a \nnecessary revision of the definition of binding domains. Previous \ndefinitions could not uniformly account for the possibility of \nlong-distance binding and its correlation with subject-orientation. I \nreduce the notion of binding domain to a phase, a domain independently \nmotivated in recent research. I demonstrate problems with the \ntraditional definition of a phase, and revise this definition so that \nphasal domains are derivable from independent mechanisms of grammar, in \nparticular by feature-checking under Agree. I argue that a domain \nbecomes phasal as soon as all relevant features within this domain are \nvalued. As a result, domains with defective tense such as infinitives \nand subjunctives can be closed at a late stage, permitting probing into \nthem without violating the PIC. Having revised the definition of a \nphase, I show how phases can be implemented as binding domains and how \nthis can account for cross-linguistic differences in long-distance \nbinding as well as correctly predict the typology of \nsubject-orientation, among other empirical advantages. Finally, I \nconsider the interaction of A'-movement (scrambling and \nwh-movement) and anaphoric binding and show how it affects the status of \nbinding domains. This analysis of binding has wider empirical coverage \nthan existing analyses and makes binding theory consistent with the \nminimalist view on the architecture of grammar."},{"label":"dcterms.available","value":"2013-05-22T17:34:05Z"},{"label":"dcterms.contributor","value":"Bailyn, John F."},{"label":"dcterms.creator","value":"Antonenko, Andrei"},{"label":"dcterms.dateAccepted","value":"2015-04-24T14:46:08Z"},{"label":"dcterms.dateSubmitted","value":"2013-05-22T17:34:05Z"},{"label":"dcterms.description","value":"Department of Linguistics"},{"label":"dcterms.extent","value":"257 pg."},{"label":"dcterms.format","value":"Application/PDF"},{"label":"dcterms.identifier","value":"Antonenko_grad.sunysb_0771E_11250"},{"label":"dcterms.issued","value":"2012-12-01"},{"label":"dcterms.language","value":"en_US"},{"label":"dcterms.provenance","value":"Made available in DSpace on 2015-04-24T14:46:08Z (GMT).
