The purpose of this paper is to investigate the linguistic conditions for local and long-distance binding phenomena of three different kinds of Chinese reflexives. Chinese reflexives have attracted much attention from Chinese linguists since the introduction of Chomsky’s Binding Theory. Chinese has three basic reflexives: ziji, taziji, and ziji-benshen. Up to now the classical Binding Theory has been modified to account for a variety of Chinese binding phenomena. This paper aims to show the various aspects of local and long-distance binding phenomena. It is also concerned with whether three kinds of Chinese reflexives in embedded clauses can be long-distance bound, and under which environments are long-distance binding allowed for these three reflexives. The results of this paper show that three kinds of Chinese reflexives allow long-distance binding under different environments, respectively.
