Pragmatic Reduction of the Binding Condition Revisited.

Levinson, Stephen C.

Journal of Linguistics, v27 n1 p107-61 Mar 1991

Expands on an earlier article that explained how a Gricean theory of implicature might provide a systematic partial reduction of the Binding Conditions, and introduces a radical alternative that uses the same pragmatic framework but gives an account better adjusted to some languages.
