It
is not conceptually impossible for X to choose
X for a job or for X and Y to choose each other
for the same. However, this meaning is expressed
by the verb chun, not pasand, and
sentences in (12) are grammatical with chun
in place of pasand. |

| (14) has the same structure as (8) and pasand
in both (13) and (14) is used in the sense of "appeal".
In this sense, pasand is used only for things
external to the entity represented by the dative, i.e.
the perceiver. Thus, using an anaphor in (10) and (11)
would mean that "X appeals to X"; which is odd.
This is why (13) and (14) are ungrammatical and also why
(8) is ungrammatical when an anaphor occurs in it in the
relevant position. |
| |
| On the basis of the discussion above, we
propose the following formulation tentatively, to account
for the anaphor-antecedent relationship in Hindi: |
| |
| (15)
|
|
the
antecedent of an anaphor must be either the agent
or the perceiver (the domain to be specified later). |
