Abstract

Kim, Mankyung & Lee, Miseon. (2022). Binding of Korean reflexives in a comprehension task, a production task, and corpus analysis. The Linguistic Association of Korea Journal, 30(3), 1-20. It is well known that the binding domain of Korean reflexives is ambiguous. A few psycholinguistic studies have shown that caki and casin tend to prefer a long-distance antecedent while caki-casin strongly prefers a local antecedent. However, it should be noted that this pattern of binding preference has been obtained only using comprehension tasks. To assess the generalizability of the preference pattern, the present study examined the antecedent preference of Korean reflexives in a comprehension task, a production task, and a corpus analysis. The comprehension task showed similar binding patterns for caki, casin, and caki-casin to those of previous studies. Conversely, the production task and the corpus analysis revealed considerably different antecedent preferences for caki and casin. The task-related differences can be explained by the different pragmatic and morphosyntactic factors involved in comprehension and production. Modality (speaking vs. writing) can also make differences in the binding preference patterns.
