Principle B

Simon has a great post about Principle B and R. Kelly.

A preview:

Listening to the lyrics and given the lack of any other contextually salient females in “I’m a Flirt”-land (the salience of possible “he” referents is established by the presence of guest performers on the track–T.I. and T-Pain–and the fact that the “right” is sung by someone other than Kelly), a natural way to interpret the last line is to co-index “she” and “her,” which of course represents a flagrant Principle B violation.
