Abstract
This article argues against the morpheme speci#city of Binding "eory conditions
in terms of pronoun-anaphor complementarity and proposes a tripartite system
for the language at issue, Turkish. Focusing on the locality-based problems of Condition
A and B in terms of anaphor and pronoun binding, the article claims that binding
of an anaphor can be explained as an A’-phenomenon. "e empty topic operator
merges with the anaphor and moves to the C-domain. "e stranded anaphor inside the
clause is licensed by the empty operator via an A’-chain and the lexical antecedent of
the anaphor plays no licensing role
