Nam-Kil Kang. 2001. Pronouns and Competition. Studies in Modern Grammar 25, 91-107. In this paper, my discussion will center on arguing for an interpretive distinction between singular pronouns and plural pronouns. Unlike English pronouns, in the Korean type language, plural pronouns can be interpreted as a bound variable, but singular pronouns may not. Here such properties of pronouns are captured by the Syntactic Competition Principle. The basic idea is that if singular pronouns and plural pronouns alternate freely, the most specialized form is preferred. Thus, plural pronouns in Korean type language is the most specialized form, in accordance with the Syntactic Competition Principle.
