I will present Benjamin Bruening’s (2014) paper\u00a0”Precede and command revisited” (click here for a link<\/a>). In this paper\u00a0<\/em>Bruening argues that the relation of\u00a0<\/em>c-command is irrelevant to binding phenomena, and proposes to replace it with a coarser notion of command, “phase command”.\u00a0 To give a taste of the argumentation, consider the known fact that (1) feels\u00a0like a principle C violation,\u00a0although “her” doesn’t c-command “Rosa”; no constituency test tells us that “her” in (1) forms a constituent with “about Rosa’s son” to the exclusion of everything else.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

(1) *We talked with her_1 about Rosa_1’s son. (Reinhart 1976)<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Furthermore, Bruening argues that precedence also plays a role in accounting for binding phenomena. Hence “precede and (phase-)command” is the correct relationship underlying binding effects.<\/div>\n
We will discuss and evaluate Bruening’s attempt to derive “precede and command” from a particular view of the grammar where sentences are built left-to-right, phase by phase.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
