What is "binding"?

Binding refers to the relationship between a pronoun and its antecedent, where the meaning of the pronoun is determined by the antecedent it refers to. This relationship helps establish clarity in sentences, ensuring that readers or listeners understand which noun the pronoun is linked to. For example, in the sentence "The dog chased its tail," the pronoun "its" is bound to the antecedent "the dog," indicating that the tail belongs to the dog. Understanding binding is important for analyzing sentence structure and ensuring clear communication, as it helps avoid ambiguity in referring expressions.
