Summary

In many languages, reflexives like English herself exhibit a puzzling dual behavior: they must either obey structural constraints or perspective-related discourse constraints. Based on detailed examination of crosslinguistic data, this book proposes a unified solution to this syntax-semantics issue, which has consequences for the theories of binding and logophoricity.
