Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

Abstract This paper investigates the Japanese pronoun hon-nin, which has so far been paid little attention to, and proposes the binding condition to the effect that hon-nin must not be bound by the subject NP. We further show that the Japanese reflexive zibun and the Japanese pronoun hon-nin show complementary distribution just as the English reflexive (himself, etc.) and the English pronoun (him, etc.) do so.
