In the present paper I examined the "reflexive pronouns" of Turkish, Mongolian, Nanai, Korean and Japanese by elicitation in order to reveal their range of function. The "reflexive pronouns" of these languages show such similarities and differences as seen below (Table 1). I proposed the hypothesis that these features are derived from the feature of the long-distance binding which these languages share.
