Yan Huang is Professor of Linguistics, Department of Linguistic Science, University of Reading.

Huang took on the immense job not only of popularizing his own views but of discussing other people's ideas, and as a result the book provides a thorough retelling and critical analysis of a variety of approaches to anaphora ... Huang is a very conscientious critic ... Yan Huang's book makes an important contribution to the understanding of anaphora and related issues. It is also a very good reference source, enlightening those who have always wanted to know what, for example, "sluicing", "pseudo-gapping", or "return pop" means, but have not dared to ask. This book also comes handy for those functionalists who insufficiently familiar with formal theorizing about anaphora: at a relatively low cost, it gives them a fairly good idea of what they are rejecting.
