  1. Local and Long-Distance Reflexives in Uzbek KamolaAzimova

  2. Introduction: Research Area • Syntax: Binding theory • Binding Principles A & B • Three types of Uzbek reflexive pronouns • O’zi • O’z-o’zi • Kamina (1st person singular only)

  3. Aims/Justification • No research on Uzbek syntax. • Researches on other languages have looked at the violation of binding principles. • This research studies the extend of binding principle applications in Uzbek.

  5. Research Questions • What is the function of the reflexives o’zi (-self) in Uzbek? Is it an anaphor or a pronoun? When it functions as a pronoun, is it violating the binding principles? • Does complex reflexive o’z-o’zi allow a local antecedent only? • Is kamina (myself) equals to o’zim (myself)? Or are there any cases where they differ? What are those cases?

  6. Methodology • Quantitative data collection • Theoretical field: self intuition • Morphological stem • coordination • Syntactic behaviors • Potential movement • Complex and simple sentences • Other native speakers?

  7. Anticipated Problem/Limitations • There are no other studies conducted in regards of Uzbek syntax.

  8. Expected Findings • The reflexive o’zim functions as an anaphor in the local domain. Whereas, the same reflexive is regarded as a pronoun when it occurs in the complex sentences. • The complex reflexive o’z-o’zi can function as an anaphor only. • Kamina is not always regarded as a pronoun because it’s function does not follow the binding rules.
