Abstract

This article is focused on a central aspect of the syntax-semantics-pragmatics interface: the so-called anaphorical relations. More precisely, it identifies a selection of shortcomings of Chomsky’s (1981) classical binding theory and Huang’s (2007) version of the pragmatic neo-Gricean apparatus, originally proposed by Levinson (1987, 1989). Besides enumerating interesting problems for certain theoretical frameworks, I highlight the need for integrating syntactic, semantic and pragmatic factors in order to construct a more adequate theoretical model for anaphora.
