Abstract

An, Soojin and Ji-Hye Kim. 2019. An experimental study of binding interpretations on English reflexive pronouns by Korean L2 learners: Conditions on grammatical binding vs. pragmatic binding. Korean Journal of English Language and Linguistics 19-2, 211-232. This study investigates how Korean learners of English as Foreign Language interpret English reflexives in regard to i) whether the learners interpret English reflexives in accordance with binding domain and c-commanding conditions of binding, and ii) whether pragmatic information affects the learners’ interpretation of grammatical binding of English reflexives. Two tasks ― acceptability judgment task based on truth value and truth value judgment task based on stories ― to decide the appropriate antecedent for reflexives were conducted with 67 university students in Korea (as the experimental group) and 12 English native speakers (as a control group). Overall results demonstrated that i) Korean learners of English showed L1 transfer effects with English reflexives in their interpretations related to binding domain and commanding condition, and ii) For Korean learners of English, pragmatic conditions often override syntactic conditions for binding, especially when appropriate context is given. Further discussions will follow.

Keywords:

Binding Principle A, reflexive binding, pragmatic/logophoric binding, grammatical/core/syntactic binding, Korean learners of English
