Lets us consider <strong>the</strong> binding conditions for each <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> examples in (40a) and (40b) in turn, beginning<br />

with <strong>the</strong> case <strong>of</strong> object extraction.<br />

The f-structure for (40b) is given below:<br />

Since <strong>the</strong> SUBJ <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> matrix clause, ingen/‘noone’, outranks <strong>the</strong> COMP containing <strong>the</strong> OBL��� , dem<br />

selv/‘<strong>the</strong>mselves’, <strong>the</strong> requirement on syntactic rank is fulfilled.<br />

The right edge <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> operator (<strong>the</strong> binder) is DP in <strong>the</strong> figure above. The right edge <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> bindee<br />

£<br />

DP� is , i.e. <strong>the</strong> DP dominating <strong>the</strong> empty category. The right edge <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> binder linearly precedes <strong>the</strong><br />

right edge <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> bindee which means that <strong>the</strong> operator f-precedes <strong>the</strong> bindee. Since both requirements<br />

in (42) are met, <strong>the</strong> binding pattern is predicted to be acceptable.<br />
