Summary

Chapter 13 introduces many recent studies on Korean anaphors using both off-line and on-line experimental methods to test structural and non-structural constraints on their interpretation and usage. The questions addressed include whether the anaphor is interpreted via binding or co-reference, whether and how much logophoricity or empathy determines the antecedent potential of the anaphor, the locality of the dependency between the anaphor and its antecedent, and the quantificational bindability of the anaphor. The chapter presents a synthesis of these experimental studies on various types of Korean anaphoric forms, caki, casin, caki-casin, and 3rd person pronouns.
