Kim, Hyosik. (2023). The internal structure of reflexives and a Np-internal movement analysis. The Linguistic Association of Korea Journal, 31(3), 51-68. This study investigates the internal structure of reflexive expressions, focusing on the construction of cakicasin in Korean and himself in English. There have been two approaches to the question of English reflexives: the transformational theory and the phrase structure theory of reflexives. This paper will show that the reflexive expressions in both languages exhibit a unique distributional property: the reflexive expressions can be separated by adjectives, in the form of caki+adj+casin and his+adj+self. Building on the previous analysis for reflexive expressions in English, this study aims to show that the reflexive expressions constitute a possessive phrase and the caki+adj+casin construction involves the movement of caki to Specifier of a higher phrase. |
