The paper discusses anaphora facts from Kannada and argues that prioritization of principles as in Optimality Theory is not sufficient to express the interaction of the laws governing the Kannada anaphoric system. It further argues that differences in anaphoric systems are best expressed as variations in the way universal building blocks of anaphora are assembled in particular languages. To concretize the idea of law assembly, a list of universal building blocks is suggested.
