ABSTRACT
This chapter is concerned with accounting for the behavior of long distance reflexives (LDRs), a type of pronoun that has received considerable attention because of its ability to be bound outside its binding domain contrary to the stipulation of the binding theory. Long distance reflexives are found in unrelated languages across the world, in European languages such as Icelandic, Italian, Norwegian, Russian, in African languages such as Yoruba, Ewe, Mupan, and Abe, and in Asiatic languages such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean and also in Austronesian languages such as Malay and in several varieties of Indonesian; hence its importance to linguistic theory.
