Abstract

This paper provides computational algorithms for a Korean reflexive caki, for which both sentence-bound and long-distance readings are possible. Its analyses are based on Chierichia's theory in Categorial Grammar, and a CCG-like system is introduced for the implementation. In this system, we can get both readings of caki with the same resolution mechanisms, while the difference is where the reflexive is resolved. These algorithms enable us to account for the distributions and characteristics off long-distance reflexive caki with a more unified way.
