The purpose of this paper is to examine the pronominal system and reflexives in Korean Sign Language (KSL). In order to do this, I first take a close look at KSL word order. Second, I investigate whether the KSL pronominal system employs number, person, and gender, comparing their use with that of spoken languages and other sign languages. Third, I examine KSL reflexives, comparing their use with that of spoken languages and other sign languages. Although there are several different reflexive forms, I mainly consider two kinds of reflexives: an adverbial reflexive pronoun ‘self’ derived from an independent word as an adverb, and a nominal reflexive pronoun ‘self’ derived from a complex verb phrase consisting of an active verb and a backward verb. I also examine whether KSL reflexives are subject to locality by presenting the syntactic structure of complex clauses in KSL. Finally, I will give a brief summary of this paper in conclusion
