boldface,
space-builders by underline):
[2]
We
wonder it was not
Ourselves
Arrested it – before –.
(F446/J448; Fascicle 21, lines 8–10)
Mental space theory accounts for the distribution of anaphors. In example (3), the
-self
anaphor included in the subject noun phrase ‘Myself and It’ is projected from
the originating space, subject ‘I’, as we would expect. ‘It’, however, refers to ‘the Day’
which occurs within the space projected by ‘But when’ and therefore does not appear
as a 
-self
anaphor:
[3]
I
rose, and all was plain –
But when the Day declined
Myself 
and It, in Majesty
Were equally – adorned –
(F613/J356; Fascicle 29, lines 10–13)

E X T E N S I O N


The following poem is more complex:
[4]
We
can but follow to the
Sun –
As oft as 
He
go down
He
leave 
Ourselves
a
Sphere behind –
(F845/J920; Set 4b, lines 1–5)
The subject/agent ‘we’ in the originating space triggers its counterpart ‘Ourselves’ in
the mental space as predicted. Since the two references to ‘He’ both appear within
the same mental space, the 
-self
anaphor form does not occur. However, ‘He’ refers
to the ‘Sun’, which 
does
occur in the original, speaker’s ‘reality’ space, but as it is not
the subject/agent of the originating space, it does not trigger a 
-self
anaphor.
The subject/agent constraint does not preclude double mental spaces with two
subjects (
italics
indicate second coreferential subjects):
[5]
To think just how the fire will
burn –
Just how 
long-cheated eyes
will turn –
To wonder
what 
myself
will say,
And what 
itself
, will say to me –
(F199/J207; Fascicle 10, lines 11–15)
Here the speaker is projecting a fantasy of arriving home late. ‘I’ is the underlying
subject of the space-builder ‘to think’, triggering a mental space in which ‘long-
cheated eyes’ is a subject. The second space-builder, ‘to wonder’, can be read as
doubly triggered, from the initial ‘I’ of the speaker, but also from the ‘long-cheated
eyes’, so that two subjects occur with 
-self
anaphors in the resulting mental space.
When mental spaces are multiply embedded, the subject in one space will project
its own 
-self
anaphor into the mental space projected from it:
[6]
If
God
could make a visit –
Or ever took a Nap –
So not to see us – but they
say
Himself
– a Telescope
Perennial beholds us –
Myself
would run away
From Him – and Holy Ghost – and All –
(F437/J413; Fascicle 15, lines 10–17)
Here, the conditional space is projected by the speaker, thus triggering the first person
-self
anaphor in its space (line 16). However, within the conditional space, in which

‘God’ is a subject, a contrastive space is created with the words ‘but they / say’, and
the subject ‘God’ projects onto the third person 
-self
anaphor in its own embedded
mental space.
The appearance of ‘itself ’ in example (7) indicates that 
-self
anaphors are projected
not from the syntactic but from the conceptual subject of the parent space:
