## Summary

This poster was presented on 2021 April 8 - 11 at the [39th meeting of the
West Coast Conference on Formal
Linguistics](https://sites.google.com/view/wccfl2021/).  
  
Provided abstract:  
We investigate the interpretation of Romanian pronouns 'el/ea (him/her)' and
test several assumptions regarding Condition B effects. We find: (i) no clear
pressure for locally disjoint reference (contra Levinson, 1987), (ii) no clear
pressure for bound variable readings (contra Reinhart, 1983; Reuland, 2011),
(iii) evidence of competition between forms: complex reflexives compete with
simplex pronouns, and (iv) this competition affects the bound variable
interpretation of simplex pronouns.
