A formal approach to long-distance anaphora : the case of Korean
The aim of this thesis is to provide a unified account of Long-Distance Anaphora in Korean. We especially focus on the behaviour of the long-distance anaphor <i>caki</i>. We set two objectives in this work. The first objective is empirical and consists in the establishment of the different operative factors licensing <i>caki-</i>binding. The second objective is theoretical, and consists in the formulation of a uniform account of the different binding phenomena characteristic of <i>caki</i>. The syntactic framework assumed is Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG), where binding relations are determined in a single level of representation. Long-distance anaphora such as <i>caki</i>-binding has received a great deal of attention due to its recalcitrant nature and the difficulty that scholars have encountered in incorporating it into standard binding theory. The accounts provided so far combine elements from different parts of the grammar (syntax, semantics and pragmatics). However, such hybrid approaches cannot explain uniformly and parsimoniously mainstream data patterns such as subject and non-subject long-distance binding of <i>caki.</i> The review of such approaches in this thesis shows that <i>caki</i>
