초록
While it is commonly assumed that a bound variable pronoun that covaries with a quantified phrase must be c-commanded by its quantified antecedent (Reinhart 1983), there are many counterexamples reported in the literature that show that c-command is not a requirement for covariation (Barker 2012). In processing, there is suggestive evidence that c-command has an effect in variable binding (Cunnings et al. 2015, Kush et al. 2015). Moulton and Han (2018) found that bound pronouns can access c-commanding quantified antecedents early in processing, but not non-c-commanding antecedents—even when a bound variable interpretation is possible. Lakhani and Schwarz (2024), however, report that when Moulton and Han’s test sentences were modified to facilitate the covarying interpretation of the pronoun, the processing difference between c-commanded and non-c-commanded pronouns disappeared. In this paper, we test the processing effect of c-command on the 3rd person long distance anaphor caki in Korean. Caki typically gets its meaning from an antecedent in the same sentence. It is a dedicated bound variable (Han and Storoshenko 2012), and can be bound by a c-commanding antecedent or a non-c-commanding antecedent (Kim 2000, O’Grady 1987). In one acceptability rating study and two self-paced reading studies, we found processing costs for non-c-commanded caki in comparison to c-commanded caki in sentences that involve covariation as well as in sentences that do not.
Abstract
While it is commonly assumed that a bound variable pronoun that covaries with a quantified phrase must be c-commanded by its quantified antecedent (Reinhart 1983), there are many counterexamples reported in the literature that show that c-command is not a requirement for covariation (Barker 2012). In processing, there is suggestive evidence that c-command has an effect in variable binding (Cunnings et al. 2015, Kush et al. 2015). Moulton and Han (2018) found that bound pronouns can access c-commanding quantified antecedents early in processing, but not non-c-commanding antecedents—even when a bound variable interpretation is possible. Lakhani and Schwarz (2024), however, report that when Moulton and Han’s test sentences were modified to facilitate the covarying interpretation of the pronoun, the processing difference between c-commanded and non-c-commanded pronouns disappeared. In this paper, we test the processing effect of c-command on the 3rd person long distance anaphor caki in Korean. Caki typically gets its meaning from an antecedent in the same sentence. It is a dedicated bound variable (Han and Storoshenko 2012), and can be bound by a c-commanding antecedent or a non-c-commanding antecedent (Kim 2000, O’Grady 1987). In one acceptability rating study and two self-paced reading studies, we found processing costs for non-c-commanded caki in comparison to c-commanded caki in sentences that involve covariation as well as in sentences that do not.
