The present paper examines the rationale for the argument status of cross referencing forms in functional grammar & also in other theoretical frameworks, eg, Lexical Functional Grammar (Bresnan & Mchombo, 1987), government & binding (Jelinek, 1984), & identifies a number of problems posed by such an analysis. Although some of the issues may find an adequate resolution within the context of Functional Grammar, it is argued that most either disappear or can be handled better under an "agreement" as opposed to "argument" analysis of the cross-referencing forms. It is also argued, that even if the pronominal argument analysis is maintained for some languages, those of the radically head-marking type, there are no convincing grounds for extending it to dependent-marking languages such as Latin. 31 References.
