<p><b>New page</b></p><div>In generative syntax, '''binding theory''' is a theory on [[A-binding]]. <br />
<br />
===Comments===<br />
Binding theory consists of the three conditions in (i).<br />
<br />
(i) <br />
A An [[anaphor]] is [[bound]] in its [[binding domain]].<br />
B A [[pronominal]] is [[free]] in its [[binding domain]].<br />
C An [[R-expression]] is [[free]].<br />
<br />
Usually these conditions are conjoined with a characterization of [[anaphor]]s, [[pronominal]]s and [[R-expression]]s in terms of the features 'anaphor' and 'pronominal' as in (ii).<br />
<br />
(ii) <br />
a [+anaphor, -pronominal] = [[anaphor]]<br />
b [+anaphor, +pronominal] = [[PRO]]<br />
c [-anaphor, -pronominal] = [[R-expression]]<br />
d [-anaphor, +pronominal] = [[pronominal]]<br />
