Under the tenet shared by Hornstein and Kayne that rules of construal need to be recaptured by the operation Move, this book aims to construct a movement theory of anaphora according to which anaphoric relations are established through movement of pro. This theory has significant theoretical implications for reconstruction effects and pro-drop phenomena. It has brought binding theory into the realm of the Minimalist Program.
