In this paper, I discuss some interactions between movement and binding, which has been called reconstruction effects. I first discuss some empirical data that show three asymmetries in relation to reconstruction effects, and suggest a cyclic derivational approach, which suggests the following.: binding theory applies at a (binding) point in the derivation where an argument is introduced (i.e., TP or VP). I further show that the cyclic derivational approach can explain two of the asymmetries discussed here (A vs. A-bar asymmetry and Condition A vs. Conditions B/C asymmetry). During the discussions, I suggest that Condition C, a negative rule, requires that it be satisfied at the highest binding point (the highest TP) while Conditions A and B show some "on-line" anywhere properties. Based on some facts in relation to Condition B, I suggest that pronouns are lexically ambiguous: referential pronouns and anaphoric pronouns and that the existence of anaphoric pronouns is responsible for the anywhere properties of Condition B.
