Binding and blocking in Nuosu

Abstract I argue for a binding theory that posits binding and blocking conditions as underived primitives as opposed to a binding theory that derives blocking conditions from binding conditions via an independent scale of dependency (Safir 2004a, 2004b). The latter work is based on English and other Germanic languages, whereas the proposed binding theory bears on Nuosu (Tibeto-Burman: China), which exhibits a speech logophor and a long-distance reflexive, on Mupun (Afro-Asiatic: Nigeria) and on Chinese.
