"text": "Anaphora has been one of the hottest topics in Linguistics. Various theories have been developed under the name of Binding. There have been roughly two types of Binding Theories. The first group uses tree-theoretic notions to search an antecedent for the anaphora. Chomskyan traditions, especially GB framework, belong to this type of approach. The other utilizes argument-functor relations, instead of structural configurations, for anaphora resolution. This strategy is taken by GPSG (Generalized Phrase Structural Grammar), PLG (Phrase Linking Grammar), and CG (Categorial Grammar). Chierchia (1988) 's theory in Categorial Grammar is a good example.",

"text": "According to these algorithms, two pronouns himself and him are resolved as in 11and 12. Here note that the translations of two sentences are love' x2 Chierichia's algorithms are designed to handle English data. But, in order to explain the distributions of long-distance reflexives in Korean, some conditions must be modified. First, According to the condition (10bi), LPS value of every S node must be 0. To get the long-distance readings in (2) and (3), however, this condition must not be applied, because it prevents (2) and (3) have only sentence-bound interpretations. Then, (2) is ruled out and caki in (3) refers to only Younghee, which are counterintuitive. Second, as the sentence in (3) illustrates, caki can refer to not only male entity but also female entity. As Hong (1985) and Kang (1988b) have already pointed out, gender information is not crucial for reflexive resolution in Korean. Therefore we have to make the algorithms insensitive to gender information of the specification in (8b). The agreement information that (8b) contains are index of the NPs, person, and number. After the modifications of these two conditions, we can analyze (1) and (3) as in (13) and (14) respectively. Here, note that the translation of a complementizer -ko is specified as A,\u00d8[^0]. 13 In (13), the reflexive caki is resolved within the S node, where it finds the antecedent Chelsoo. 14has two S nodes, and both Chelsoo and Younghee can be an antecedent for caki. In (14c), the reflexive rule (10d) is applied in the higher S/NP node, whereas it is applied to lower S/NP node in (14d). Likewise, the reflexive caki is resolved in the higher S nodes in (14c), while it finds an antecedent in the lower S node in (14d). As the translations illustrate, (14c) corresponds to long-distance reading in (14bi) and (14d) to sentence-bound reading of (14bii) respectively. With some modifications of Chierchia's idea, we can correctly get the both interpretations for caki as above.",

The first step is the reflexive rules in (10d) is applied to the S/NP nodes, whose operations are (i) to delete the index for the reflexive NP from LPS and (ii) to change the translation into a X-expression. The second step is, which is occurs in the S nodes, (i) to find a possible antecedent for the reflexive, (ii) to check the agreement between the reflexive and the antecedent, (iii) to resolve the reflexive, and (iv) to update the result by X-conversion of the translation. But we need one more operation in addition to those two. We need to decide when we resolve the reflexive. That is, caki in (14c) is resolved with Chelsoo while it is paired with Younghee in (14d). An algorithm is necessary for deciding the point where the reflexive is resolved. These three mechanisms are the crux of resolution algorithms. The first step can be easily implemented, because its mechanisms are straightforward. The algorithm for them is as follows. Here, j is the index of the reflexive NP,. The first two lines find the index for reflexive and delete it from LPS. The next three lines take the TRANS value, find the variable xi, and turn the TRANS into a k-expression.

That is, n is pointing Chelsoo-ka right now. When we meets a reflexive NPR caki, the algorithm checks if the person and number information of two NPs, NI; and NPn, agree. If they agree the index of caki is percolated up until it meets Chelsoo-ka. When the reflexive meets with a S node whose subject is NP n Chelsoo-ka, the algorithms call the function reflexive_rule() in the VP node, then call reflexive_resolution() in the S node, where the reflexive is resolved. If the agreement value of n does not match with that of the reflexives, n is increased by 1 and the agreement attribute is checked again. After the reflexive is resolved, the algorithm prints out the result, i.e. caki refers to Chelsoo', and deletes all the result except those in (22). Then, n is increased, and the same procedures are performed again. All the procedures end when n becomes equal to the index for the reflexive, for example, n = 3 for 22.",

"text": "As mentioned in Section 1, there are roughly two kinds of Binding Theories. One uses structural configurations and the other utilizes functor-argument relations. As Kang (1988a Kang ( , 1988b Kang ( , 2001 ) have already pointed out, the second approaches are better than the first ones in explaining distributions and characteristics long-distance reflexives. To enumerate the advantages of the latter methods deserves another paper. As an example, Kang (1988b) investigated long-distance reflexives in Korean, Japanese, Swedish, and Icelandic, and illustrated that the latter strategies can efficiently account for the examples that are problematic for configuration-based explanations. Among the advantages that he pointed out, the most important one for this CCG-like system is that we don't need to have two separate domains for reflexive resolution. As the analyses in (13) and (14) demonstrate, whether the reflexives are resolved within the minimal S node or outside of the S node, the resolution mechanisms themselves are the same, i.e., by the reflexive rule and lamda conversion. If we try to implement reflexive resolution by configuration, such as in Hong & Lee (1994) , we must set different Binding Domains under which the reflexives find their antecedents, one for sentence-bound reading the other for long-distance interpretation.",

The systems that depend on structural configurations presuppose the existence of a parse tree, such as that of Lee (1996a Lee ( , 1996b . In this system, however, PS rules and functional applications take the roles of a parser, and all the operations depend on argument-functor relations. The PS rules in (15) and syntactic processes in Section 4.2 DO NOT make any parse tree. Their functions are (i) to decide which constituent and which one go into functor-argument relations, and (ii) to filter out ungrammatical sentences in (16). Therefore, we have no parse tree in this CCG-like system. In a nutshell, we achieve the same effect of a parser without it, and this characteristic speeds up the system because we don't need to spend time for constructing a parse tree.",

"text": "This paper developed resolution algorithms for Korean reflexives within Categorial Grammar framework. Those algorithms are based on the functor-argument relations of the constituents, rather than depend on structural configurations. A CCG-like system is introduced where surface combinatorics plays an important role. Each reflexive is resolved by the operations on the TRANS and LPS values, where each operation is triggered by the functional application of CAT values. We found that long-distance reflexives in Korean are efficiently accounted for with those mechanisms. We also saw that resolution algorithms using functor-argument relations are better than configuration-based accounts. Theoretically, we can explain two readings of long-distance reflexives by the same resolution algorithms, while the difference of two interpretations is captured with different resolution points. In implementation, we said that the algorithms speed up the processing time, because we don't need a parser.",
