A Minimalist Approach to Some Problems fo Long-Distance Anaphora of Reflexives = 재귀사의 장거리 결속 현상에 관한 최소주 의 이론적 접근

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The main goal of this study is to argue for a minimalist approach to long-distance anaphora of reflexives, called 'Attract-[Ref] hypothesis,' as a desirable alternative to the current LF Head Movement Hypothesis For this goal, I concentrate on various data, mostly from Korean, showing that even XP-reflexives can also be long-distance bound on the one hand and some X^o-reflexives cannot be subject-oriented as well as does not exhibit the blocking effect even when long-distance bound on the other hand. Most of these phenomena constitute serious counterexamples to the LF Head Movement Hypothesis Consepuently, it is demonstrated that, given some economy considerations as in the sense of Chomsky (1995), a variety of phenomena of long-distance anaphora of reflexives involving the relevant phenomena of blocking effect and subject-orientation can be adequately explained in terms of the interaction of economy principles under the Attract-[Ref] Hypothesis The core syntactic operation required by the Attract-[Ref] Hypothesis is to attract the reflexive feature [Ref], inherently assigned to reflexive morphemes, up to a higher functional category, i.e, T or D, to provide a feature-checking relation for it For a theoretical basis for the Attract-[Ref] Hypothesis, I make an attempt to reanalyze the internal structure of reflexives as that of DP, arguing that, under DP-analysis, all the reflexives in natural languages are classified into four different types according to their morphological and syntactic properties
