Nuu-chah-nulth presents a set of exceptions to Condition C of the Binding Theory that involves co-construal between certain R-expressions & a c-commanding pronoun. These exceptions to Condition C are not reducible to structural properties of the language, & are not confined to coreference anaphora, as they extend to bound variables without quantificational antecedents. Nuu-chah-nulth also shows strong crossover effects, & more generally obeys a strict c-command condition on variables bound by quantifiers. We account for these facts by distinguishing quantifier binding from other types of dependent reference, & parameterize the latter based on reverse dependency, where a pronoun may precede and/or c-command its antecedent. Reverse dependency reflects the nonpresuppositional nature of Nuu-chah-nulth pronouns, which allows them to be introduced ahead of their descriptive content. Tables, References.
