Between Reflexivity and Reciprocity: Towards an Analysis of Reflexive and Reciprocal Constructions of Selected Czech Verbs

Abstract

In this article, we focus on two groups of Czech verbs, lexical and syntactic reciprocals. We provide an analysis of their syntactic properties with respect to reciprocity and reflexivity, their possible ambiguity and combination.

We demonstrate that it is the reflexive pronoun and its surface expression that play a key role in the studied phenomena.
