It is commonly assumed that words are grammatically prohibited from containing antecedents for anaphoric elements, and thus constitute 'anaphoric islands' (Postal 1969). In this paper, we argue that such anaphora-termed OUTBOUND ANAPHORA-is in fact fully grammatical and governed by independently motivated pragmatic principles. The felicity of outbound anaphora is shown to be a function of the accessibility of the discourse entity which is evoked by the word-internal element and to which the anaphor is used to refer. The morphosyntactic statu~ of the antecedent is but one factor affecting the accessibility of that entity. A series of psycholinguistic experiments support the analysis. *
