ABSTRACT
Under this defi nition, condition (1b) correctly allows pronominal co-reference in each of the sentences in (3), but condition (1a) wrongly excludes each of those in (2) as ill formed. To allow for the possibility of anaphor binding in (2), Chomsky (1981: 211ff.) suggests (5) in place of (4):
(5) α is a governing category for β if and only if α is the minimal category containing β, a governor of β, and a SUBJECT accessible to β.
