The purpose of this paper is to explain binding theory under the non-configurational notion. GB binding theory is based on the configurational notion of c-command. This paper presents an alternative binding theory that is not based on c-command, but rather on the relative obliqueness of grammatical relations. We examined a wide range of English data that were based on GB binding theory to compare with the binding theory based on non-configurational notion. And we presented an alternative binding theory that was based on the relative obliqueness of arguments under the frame of HPSG. Finally HPSG binding theory could solve the crucial data, making use of non-configurational notion.
