and language specialists to discuss the factors governing the cross-linguistic distribution of locally bound possessives.
</span>In the languages of the world this structural position can be encoded by a
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">
pronominal (as in English <i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">Mary saw her cat</i>);
</span>a <span style="mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:
"Times New Roman"">
dedicated possessive pronoun, often called possessive reflexive (as in Russian <i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">
Masha uvidela svoju koshku</i>); a genitive form of an argument reflexive (Avar, Northeast Caucasian); or a head marking (Meadow Mari, Uralic).</span></span></div>

</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Verdana; ">The main empirical questions to be addressed stem from the conjecture that the availability of dedicated possessive reflexives in a language correlates with the way the
language encodes definiteness. In other words, languages without prenominal definite articles usually employ reflexive possessives while languages with prenominal articles employ simple pronominals (see Reuland 2011, and especially Despic (2011) and (forthcoming),
for more discussion).<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span></span></div>

<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Verdana; ">Crucial questions include i. to what extent this conjecture holds also if a larger class of languages is considered, and ii. why it would hold.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>Answers to the 2nd question bear on more fundamental issues in our understanding of anaphoric dependencies, specifically the factors underlying locality of binding domains. More generally we are interested in how ‘local binding’ of a possessive element
is encoded.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Verdana; ">The issue of locally bound possessives can be approached from a number of different angles. Since the publication of
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">Lectures on Government and Binding </i>in 1981 the nature of binding and its domains has been in the centre of the linguistic debate.
<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Basic question one may raise include: What is the role of pragmatic versus formal principles? How are interpretive dependencies represented in functional approaches to language? What is the division of labour between syntactic
and semantic principles? One of the crucial problems for Chomsky (1981) was the abundance of cross-linguistic variation in binding patterns of anaphors even among closely related languages (e.g. Germanic). Subsequent work, varying from Reinhart (1983) to Chomsky
(1995) raised even more fundamental questions about the way anaphoric dependencies are linguistically represented. The nature of this representation is directly relevant for the question of how we can understand and explain locality conditions on binding.</span></div>

<div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#222222"></font><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Verdana; ">In brief we suggest that the variation in locally bound possessives may bear on such general questions, but also
on very quite framework specific questions. For instance: Can locality be reduced to effects of phases (see Hicks 2012, Charnavel & Sportiche 2014, Despic, to appear), or rather to intervention/minimality effects (as may be expected in approaches such as Rooryck
& Vanden Wyngaerd 2011 and Reuland 2011). Or do they arise from competition effects as in Safir (2004), and/or spell-out conditions, as in analyses in terms of minimal pronouns (e.g. Kratzer 2009)? Each of these approaches provides its own perspective on the
empirical puzzles the variation poses. (For example, if bound variable pronouns acquire their features during feature transmission and get their pronominal shape at PF, why would in Russian and other Slavic languages possessive reflexives be inserted instead
of personal pronouns?)</span><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#222222">
