'''Anaphor''' refers to an element which depends for its reference on the reference of another element.

In binding theory, '''anaphor''' is an element which must be [[A-bound]] by an [[antecedent]] within its [[binding domain]].

===Examples===
''Himself'' in (a) is an anaphor with ''John'' as its [[antecedent]]. The ill-formedness of (b) and c is due to the lack of a proper antecedent: ''himself'' does not agree in person features with ''I'' in (b), and ''John'' is outside the [[binding domain]] in (c).

(a) ''John hates himself.''
(b) ''*I hate himself.''
(c) ''*John says that I hate himself.''

===Comment===
[[Trace]]s of [[NP-movement]] are also considered as anaphors.
