Following Hukari and Levine (1995), Iclaim that structural configurations must be taken into account. In this article, I present arevised version of Hukari and Levine's configurational relation called v(alence-based)-c-command andpropose that Principle C must involve this relation in addition to the obliqueness-based relation ofo-command. New data are provided that strongly support the proposed revision of the HPSG bindingtheory. Finally, I argue that Principle C is syntactic rather than pragmatic in nature.</p> ER -
