The anaphor binding provides us with evidence that movement in Korean and wh-movement in English involve successive cyclic movement through the phasal edge. The same theoretical consideration forces wh-movement in English and movement in the Korean bi-clausal structure through the spec of a phases such as CP or vP. The movement of the host anaphor phrase in Korean specially provides evidence that the anaphor phrase undergoes successive cyclic movement phase-by-phase, floating from its NQ and passing through the immediate positions. There are distinctions between the two types of anaphor binding: While the cyclic anaphor binding interpretation applies to the surface structure in Korean, but to LF in English. While the IO-DO order shows the binding-freezing effect, the IO is in the binding-thawing environment for the binding of the anaphor in the phasal edge. The English ECMed element is in the spec of TP, whereas the Korean ECMed one occupies the spec of CP. Thus, the matrix IO may bind the ECMed element in the intermediate spec-CP.
