This paper is the first step towards the analysis of Chinese from the viewpoint of the theory of GB (Government and Binding), which was proposed by Chomsky (1981), and has been the main topic in the Generative Grammar up to now.
At first, I will discuss the uses of both ‘ziji’ (_??_) and ‘taziji’ (_??_) and the implications of these uses for the current binding principle A. I will also consider the uses of pronouns and their implications for the binding principle B. Finally, I will describe the structures of “the complex predicates” (_??_) within the framework of the theory of GB.
