This book is the result of a long thought process that lasted more than a decade and happened in many different places. It therefore owes its completion to many more people than I can mention here. Thank you all.

The seed of the book was planted in the spring of 2008 when I attended Daniel (Bring)s graduate semantics II class and Dominique (Sportiche)s graduate syntax III class at UCLA. In both courses, we spent a lot of time thinking about Binding Theory, which led me to explore the interaction between binding, focus, and perspective in the behavior of French son propre (her own). That term paper, which ultimately developed into my UCLA dissertation (and part of my UPMC dissertation), sparked my interest in the puzzling link between reflexivity and logophoricity: the more I observed this pattern in anaphors across languages, the more I was convinced that this link could not be random, but deserved a deep explanation, which could potentially reveal a lot about our linguistic system. Dominique played a determining role in encouraging me to pursue this line of reasoning. I am also grateful to all the other UCLA peopleteachers, advisers, colleagues, collaborators, and visitors, whom I have already thanked in my dissertationfor helping me (in many different ways) to explore this research question.

The bulk of the workin particular, the cross-linguistic extension and the elaboration of the theorywas achieved at Harvard, where I joined the linguistics department in January 2013. Funnily, I could not end up in a better place to develop a project on reflexivity and perspective: many linguists that tackled at least some aspects of this issue were (or still are) part of the Harvard linguistic community, such as Susumo Kuno, Nick Clements, Ren Coppieters, Hskuldur Thrinsson, Luigi Burzio, and my present colleagues Gennaro Chierchia and Jim Huang, to cite a few. In fact, Harvard created the appropriate conditions for me to complete this work by giving me the opportunity to take several research leaves, teach several seminars related to the topic, and hire some graduate students as research assistants. A large part of the cross-linguistic work was thus done in collaboration with my Harvard students: I thank all of those who attended my 2013, 2016, and 2018 graduate seminars and whose useful comments and questions helped me make progress on the project. I especially thank all of those who worked with me as research assistants, without whom I could not have developed the parts about English (Shannon Bryant, Gunnar Lund, Chrissy Zlogar), Korean (Dorothy Ahn), and Mandarin (Yujing Huang).
