This paper explores the methodological and reflexive implications of using audio diaries inremote qualitative research with healthcare professionals. Drawing on a three-month study involving18 participants who submitted audio recordings weekly, complemented by follow-up interviews, thearticle examines how this method enables the collection of rich, emotionally nuanced, and temporallyproximate narratives. The audio diary format proved particularly effective for engaging professionalsunder high emotional and organizational pressure, offering a flexible and participant-led space for re-flection. The study also sheds light on the challenges of sustaining participation over time, the impor-tance of ethical responsiveness, and the role of the researcher in supporting engagement at a distance.Ultimately, the paper proposes the concept of long-distance reflexivity to describe how both participantsand researchers negotiate meaning, presence, and vulnerability in fully remote research settings.

The core of language disorders in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is the loss of social function in language communication. Further, the correct use and processing of personal pronouns is the basis of language social function. Therefore, clarifying the mechanism of processing the pronoun reference in children with ASD is a major focus in autism research. Currently, the main contradictory focus of the anaphora processing ability in children with ASD is use of semantic pragmatic information in the process of pronoun processing. Therefore, this study will focus on the effect of semantic cues on pronoun processing in children with autism spectrum disorder. This study uses the Chinese reflexive pronoun \"ziji\" (eg., himself/herself) as the media, because the Chinese reflexive pronoun \"ziji (oneself)\" is relatively flexible, which is not only restricted by the rule of syntactic rules, but also influenced by the semantic information of the antecedent. This study investigated the processing mechanism of Chinese reflexive pronoun \"ziji (oneself)\" in children with autism spectrum disorder by manipulating the position of strong semantic cues. The results showed that participants from both the experimental group (children with ASD) and the two control groups (children with typical development and children with intellectual disabilities) were able to process strong semantic cues. When the second person pronoun \"you\" or the s participant’s name appears in the remote subject position, children from both the experimental group and the two control groups could use semantic information to make long distance anaphora of the reflexive pronoun \"ziji (oneself)\". Conversely, when the second person pronoun \"you\" appeared in the close subject position, the children with autism spectrum disorder and the two control groups would both make close anaphora with the reflexive pronoun “ziji (oneself)”. This study found that children with autism spectrum disorder can process semantic information normally during pronoun anaphora when the semantic cues are sufficiently prominence. The results of this study provide a more comprehensive understanding of the language processing mechanism of individuals with autism spectrum disorder.

In this paper we develop an analysis of reflexive binding involving the reflexive zibun in Japanese. We argue that the reflexive zibun is bound in a minimal domain defined by the POV (point of view) feature, which entails that zibun requires local binding. In what appears to be a case of long distance binding, zibun is in fact locally bound by pro that occupies Spec of the POV projection, which is open to control by a Sentient focus or an Empathy Focus depending the nature of the POV head. This accounts for the different behaviors of the reflexive zibun with respect to the Awareness condition and Empathy. The analysis also has empirical consequences for subject orientation and the Blocking Effect with reflexive binding.

With the assumption that long distance anaphors (LDAs) are unsaturated positions, Giorgi (Nat. Lang. Linguist. Theory 24: 1009-1047, 2006, Linguist. Inq.38(2): 321-342, 2007) argues that the machinery independently needed for temporal anchoring—i.e., the syntactic representation of the coordinate of the bearer-of attitude and that of the speaker—can also account for long distance binding. In this paper, we claim that the interpretative similarity between temporal anchoring and anaphoric binding suggested by Giorgi cannot be maintained, especially for Chinese, after pointing out the limitations of Giorgi's theory concerning Chinese LDA ziji. With the recognition of the fact that Chinese long distance reflexive ziji also has an empathic use based on Kuno and Kaburaki's (Linguist. Inq. 8(4):625-672, 1977) notion of empathy, we argue that a minimal revision to Giorgi's theory, namely replacing the speaker's coordinate with the empathy locus which encodes the information of the speaker's empathy in the embedded clause, will help account for all the difficulties that Giorgi's theory faces concerning Chinese LDA ziji.

This study investigates how the dominant language of Korean heritage speakers (English) influences Korean (minority language) in the domain of binding interpretations by comparing the performance of Korean immigrants in English dominant context with that of incomplete learners of Korean and L2 learners of Korean. Four groups (10 Korean immigrants, 17 simultaneous bilinguals, 14 late L2 learners, and 30 Korean native speakers) were tested. Differences between English and Korean in Governing Category and structural constraints were tested through a Truth Value Judgment Task with stories. Overall results showed that Korean immigrants (attriters) did not differ from Korean controls, while simultaneous bilinguals (incomplete learners) and late L2 learners of Korean showed behavior different from Korean control when two languages were different in their binding properties.

This paper discusses some aspects of the behavior of anaphors and pronouns in Liangmai, belonging to the Tibeto-Burman language family. W e show that Liangmai offers a unique combination of “reflexivization strategies”. Like other languages it exhibits the strategy of reflexivizing the predicate by reduplication of an anaphoric element, but it simultaneously marks the predicate with a self-element. Two more properties of anaphoric properties of Liangmai are interesting from a cross-linguistic perspective. It shows cases of “swapping” - reordering of differently case-marked elements within the complex anaphor - and long-distance binding - allowing an anaphoric element to refer to an element that is not a co-argument.

The Scandinavian languages are very closely related but also vary syntactically in interesting ways, making this family useful in the study of typology variation. In this paper the issue of non-local reflexives, or ‘long-distance reflexives’ (LDR) is investigated. New LDR data from the Scandinavian languages is presented to show that the Binding Conditions cannot account for the variation in LDR in these languages, since the range of domains that LDR may or may not occur in in each variety varies non-hierarchically. For instance, LDR in Icelandic may be bound out of a finite complement clause but not out of a relative clause, while the reverse is true in most Norwegian dialects. Faroese allows LDR out of both clause types, but many dialects do not allow a second person pronoun to co-occur in a sentence containing LDR, which does not generally affect Icelandic or Norwegian LDR. An extension of Dalrymple's (1993) typology of anaphora, which is set within the framework of Lexical-Functional Grammar, can account for this data, using a combination of inside-out and outside-in functional uncertainty equations, on- and off-path constraints and positive and negative constraints, all of which refer to elements (potentially) found in functional-structure.

Cross-modal semantic priming and lexical judgment methods are adopted in this research to examine the cognitive process of the referent of Chinese reflexive ziji and the relationship between the two properties of \"local binding\" and \"long-distance binding\". It was found that there exist several temporal stages of the processing of ziji. At the early stage of sentence processing (SOA=0ms), ziji is bound to the embedded subject within the Governing Category, which is consistent with Binding Principle A. However, at the second stage (SOA=160ms), ziji is bound to the matrix subject, namely long-distance binding. As to the third stage (SOA=370ms), the difference of the binding relationships between ziji and the two alternative subjects is not prominent any more. Both kinds of subjects give rise to semantic priming to target words. It means that the syntactic analysis of sentence processing has been finished and the semantic integration stage begins.

Norwegian allows binding into finite subordinate clauses when the subordinate subject is inanimate and has a thematic role that is low on the hierarchy of thematic roles (e.g. Hun trodde hun gjorde det som var best for seg selv ‘she thought she did that which was best for refl self’). This kind of long distance binding is productive, and generally acceptable, but it has never been mentioned in the literature. This article discusses its syntactic and semantic properties. It is shown that the reflexives in question are not necessarily logophoric, and that they prefer a distributive interpretation. The general binding properties of inanimate subjects are discussed, and it is proposed that binding theory must have the option to disregard them. Binding across inanimate subjects can then be treated as local binding.

The phenomenon of long distance reflexives/long distance anaphora (LDA) has been extensively discussed in recent years, with for example at least two full volumes of papers devoted specifically to this topic (Koster and Reuland; Cole, Hermon, and Huang). Gennaro Chierchia claimed that it is systematically the case that LDA involves de se interpretation, a point much stressed by Reeves, who was a major stimulus of the present work.3 With respect to this notion, Reeves states: \"Without going into a formal description of this difference, we can observe that the distinction between the two cases turns on whether or not the speaker asserts that a particular kind of epistemic state holds of some entity referred to in that assertion.\" While Yan Huang in his survey lists a number of properties that either have been claimed to be universal properties of LDA or have previously been cited as features of LDA in some specific language (93-100), incompatibility with quantifier DP antecedents figured in neither list.
