摘要:In this paper I claim that PRO and anaphors are the same lexical item (ANPHR), and that their different phonetic forms are due to their different Case values. Namely, nominative ANPHR is realized as PRO, and ANPHR with any other Case is realized as - self . ANPHR is licensed by φ-Agree, which takes the place of control and binding. Locality of control/binding results from the minimality constraint on Agree. When ANPHR fails to undergo Agree, it leads to pronominal PRO or ‘exempt’ anaphor, whose referent is determined by pragmatic rules.
