Abstract

This paper discusses the logophoric properties of Balinese anaphors. This paper first presents evidence showing that the Balinese complex anaphor may be interpreted logophorically even in the presence of a syntactic coargument. This leads to a novel solution of the "Balinese Bind paradox." This proposal is better able to account for the interpretive constraints observed in raising constructions than previous proposals. In addition to this analysis, this paper discusses the implications of the properties of the Balinese simplex anaphor, which cannot be interpreted logophorically; only its complex counterpart can. This presents a pattern opposite to the one reported and predicted by the literature.
