For these anaphors, a multi-component lexical entry is proposed, whose first component is a degenerate NP-tree that adjoins into the anaphor's binder. This establishes the local structural relationship needed to ensure coreference and agreement. The analysis also allows a parallel treatment of reflexives and reciprocals, which is desirable because their behavior is very similar.</Paragraph> <Paragraph position="1"> In order to account for non-local binding phenomena, as in raising and ECM cases, we employ flexible composition, constrained by a subject intervention constraint between the two components of the anaphor's lexical entry. Finally, the paper discusses further data such as extraction and picture-NP examples.</Paragraph> </Section> class="xml-element"></Paper>
