HI,

Has anyone read his 1991 work entitled "Pragmatic reduction of the
Binding Conditions revisited"?
I'm reading it, and find it rather heavy going. One thing I still
cannot understand about the article, which I'm wading through for about
one week, is his association of the I-Principle and the presumption of
"clausemate core-argument disjointness". (e.g, in 'he hit him', 'he'
and 'him' are usually disjoint in reference, i.e. non-coreferential.)
He claims that the latter follows from the former, but I don't see the
connection.

Could anyone enlighten me?

You're not likely to find anyone at sci.lang who embraces Chomskyism,
whether 15-year-old or up to date, so this may not be the best place to
ask.
