%X Sa£¿etak The aim of this paper is to question the locality of the possessive anaphor svoj. In some Slavic languages (possessive) anaphors behave like long-distance anaphors in infinitival clause (cfr. Faltz 1985, Pica 1987, Rappaport 1986, Dotlac£¿il 2005, Reinders- -Machowska 1991). In this paper we tackle the possibility that also Croatian svoj might display long-distance binding in that context. In the analysis we follow the classification of infinitival complements into restructuring and non-restructuring ones: while the former are generated as VP complements, the latter are clause complements (cfr. Rizzi 1976, Wurmbrand 2003, Grano 2015, Landau 2000). On the basis of two criteria ¨C the (im)possibility of licensing negative polarity items and of introducing both infinitival and finite complements ¨C we propose a new classification of Croatian verbs taking infinitival complements which show that svoj cannot be bound outside its governing category
