'''Leftness condition''' is a [[condition]] proposed in [[Chomsky]] (1976) which states that a [[pronoun]] cannot be [[coindexed]] with a [[variable]] to its right. The Leftness Condition is a condition applied to LF representations, and it rules out configurations that result from raising a QNP (under QR) across a nonc-commanding pronoun (i.e., Weak Crossover configurations).
