Al-Mendeel devised GB to conclude some problems that occurred in those two basic patterns.
The third previous research was an anaphoric study which Gardelle had published in title of Anaphora, Anaphor, and Antecedent in Nominal
Anaphora: Definitions and Theoretical Implications.

Fundamentally, Gardelle had stated that anaphoric expressions are divided into syntactic
anaphora, discourse anaphora, and pragmatic anaphora. Two of her classification were among writer’s research since anaphors, pronominals,
and r-expressions were syntactic anaphora while Cataphora and Exophora were discourse ones.
The fourth previous research was dedicated in the light of Binding Theory BT. Atreya and Kumar held a study on reflexives and reciprocals
in Magahi which analyses both syntactic relations.

The research – Anaphors in Magahi: Binding Theoretic Treatment – represented Magahi
sentence structure in tree diagram and used BT principles as its main analytical instrument. To conclude, this research displayed that anaphors in
Magahi syntactically followed principle A of Binding. Nevertheless, all of previous researches avoided to apply binding
principles to different type of anaphoric patterns. Differently, here, the writer is aiming to examine the effectiveness of binding principles into all of
anaphoric sentences, including Cataphora and Exophora. He also uses X-bar

instrument in order to describe word syntactic chain within the sentences. Thus, the next point is prepared to give clearer paradigms about this
research.
