The ultimate goal of this paper is to provide an in-depth analysis of which Korean anaphoric elements are equivalent to the English he. A more specific goal is to capture the ambiguous meanings induced by the Korean ku-tul ‘they’ within the framework of Chomsky’s recent work (Chomsky 2019a, 2019b). A point to note is that English he can be interpreted as related to every-type QPs through variable binding, whereas the Korean ku ‘he’ cannot. Furthermore, so-called E-type pronouns can be bound to quantifiers without being c-commanded by them. In this respect, English he can function as an E-type pronoun, whereas Korean ku ‘he’ cannot. A central claim of this paper is that both English he and Korean ku ‘he’ exhibit a discriminating effect, thereby behaving as free variables. Additionally, the so-called sloppy identity (Reinhart 1983) refers to a bound-variable interpretation in VP-deletion constructions. Notably, like English he, Korean ku ‘he’ allows both sloppy and strict readings (i.e., covariant and invariant interpretations in the sense of Higginbotham (1992)). Taken together, these observations suggest that English he patterns with Korean ku ‘he’, Korean null pronouns, Korean reflexives, and Korean ku-tul ‘they’. This, in turn, indicates that English he allows somewhat looser interpretations than Korean ku ‘he’.
