This workshop focuses on anaphoricity/logophoricity/exempt anaphora. The kind of general questions we are interested in are: 

- what is the catalog of possible behaviors for such expressions (mandatory local binding, mandatory binding, perspective orientation, etc...)? 

- what are the constraints on their distribution (e.g. condition A or logophoricity) and why do we find these constraints rather than other a priori conceivable options? 

- what is the relation between the internal properties of such expressions and their distribution and interpretation? 

- are there connections between the behavior of such expressions and other linguistic phenomena that suggest more abstract unifications than currently assumed?
