The ultimate goal of this paper is to investigate whether Korean caki ‘self’ is equivalent to English himself. A point to note is that Korean caki ‘self’ reveals subject-orientation, while English himself reveals both subject-orientation and object-orientation, which, in turn, suggests that the former does not pattern with the latter. A further point to note is that English himself is subject to TSC, while Korean caki ‘self’ is not subject to TSC, thus behaving differently. A major point of this paper is that Korean caki ‘self’ shares short-distance binding and long-distance binding with English himself and him. It is worthwhile observing that Korean caki ‘self’ easily yields a bound variable reading in the case of long-distance binding, whereas English himself does not permit long-distance binding, hence the unavailability of a bound variable reading. It is worth noting that Korean caki ‘self’ can behave as a free variable, depending on the speaker’s intention, while English himself cannot. Finally, it is important to note that ambiguous meanings induced by caki ‘self’ are captured correctly by Chomsky’s Merge and Transfer. From all of this, it is evident that Korean caki ‘self’ induces looser interpretations than English himself and thus it patterns with English he and he himself.
