Ninety-six second language learners of English responded to a 3D-item multiple-choice questionnaire requiring them to identify the antecedent of a reflexive pronoun. Their judgments differ from those of a native-speaker control group in that they do not require that a reflexive take a clause mate antecedent, but both groups share a preference for subject over non-subject antecedents. The second language learners do not seem to transfer first language (L 1) grammar into the second language (L2), nor do they recapitulate the course of L 1 acquisition. An extension of Wexler and Manzini's (1987) parameter-setting model of L 1 acquisition to L2 data may account for some of these results, but the high incidence of long-distance binding of reflexives remains problematic: these second language learners have set the governing category parameter too widely without positive evidence.
