Agreement-based approaches to binding phenomena: the case of Russian.

In the present work I review some approaches to binding phenomena, namely those of Heinat 2006, Rooryck and Vanden Wyngaerd 2011 and Antonenko 2012. They share the idea that the fundamental syntactic relation behind what the version of Binding Theory developed in the GB framework calls binding phenomena is Agreement. I investigate the theoretical implication of these approaches and propose my own contribution to the analysis of anaphors and pronouns. Then, the conclusions I draw are tested on data from Russian language.
