Abstract

This paper addresses the problem of the distribution and interpretation of the Korean long-distance anaphor caki and its pronominal counterpart ku. The first part of this paper reviews previous analyses and shows that the distribution of caki and ku cannot be fully accounted for in purely structural terms. I will then provide an alternative analysis within the neo-Gricean theory of implicature (Grice 1975, Horn 1984, Levinson 1991). Finally, I will discuss some cases where caki and ku appear to be in free variation and argue that the account provided here can be generalized to cover those cases as well.
