Pragmatics and the grammar of anaphora: a partial pragmatic reduction of Binding and Control phenomena1
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 November 2008
Extract
The properties of gaps are intrinsically significant in that the language learner can confront little direct evidence bearing on them, so that it is reasonable to assume that they reflect deeper principles of UG, the biologically determined endowment that will be the primary concern for those interested more in the nature of the human mind than in the arrangement of data in the environment (Chomsky, 1982:19. Some concepts and consequences of the theory of Government and Binding).
