A Pragmatic Analysis of So-Called Anaphoric Islands.
Ward, Gregory; And Others
Language, v67 n3 p439-74 Sep 1991
Argues that "outbound anaphora," contrary to the argument of Postal, is fully grammatical and governed by independently motivated pragmatic principles. The felicity of outbound anaphora is demonstrated to be a function of the accessibility of the discourse entity that is evoked by the word-internal element and to which the anaphor is used to refer.
