Given below is the table of contents of Theories of Anaphora and Aspects of Japanese Syntax (unpublished book manuscript, 1990), which I never got around to revising for publication from the MIT Press, despite the encouragement by the editor (J. Keyser) to revise it as I would find appropriate. At the time, I felt that there was just so much to do to make it satisfactory -- and that was certainly true --, I never got around to forcing myself to face the task. But what has transpired in the field since 1990 now makes me think that it might not have been a bad idea to make its content available to the public. (Some of my colleagues in fact have repeatedly told me that I should have published it, and its publication could have avoided part of the confusion so pervasive in the field at the moment.) Right now, only chapter 5 has been reformatted into a PDF file; but I intend to work on the reformatting of the other chapters. If you are interested in obtaining any of the following chapters, please let me know by email. ***
