The purpose of this paper is to study how to encode the anaphoric relations, based on existing feature-based literature. Many researchers have long tried to find solutions to how to encode the reference relationship between an anaphor and its antecedent. Some of them have made efforts to account for how to encode the reference relations by providing newly introduced or revised features. However, their accounts have critical problems: (i) another violation of Inclusiveness Condition; (ii) the lack of referentiality in φ-features; (iii) the opposition direction of probe-goal relation and the cost of new feature input. This paper attempts to provide solutions to how to encode anaphoric relations by reducing binding conditions to Agree-related Minimalism. It is contended that the notion of co-indexation is necessary to remove. In the study, the following claims are also made: (i) the φ-features on DPs should be revised for referentiality dependency between them; (ii) if Move-driven features are unvalued ones, the unvalued φ-features as probe can c-command, or search down the goal DP.
