Strategies of Reflexivisation and the Meaning of Predicates. A Contrastive Analy
Tadelloses Exemplar. - Contents: Defining reflexivity Strategies of reflexivisation in English, German, and French Iconicity, economy, and markedness Marked and unmarked contexts Predicate directedness as motivation for strategy choice Implicational hierarchies Reflexivity of motion predicates Prototypicality in the reflexive domain. - Reflexive situations play a vital role in peoples lives and are consequently often encoded by specific grammatical devices. Many languages have more than one such strategy of reflexivisation at their disposal. The present study provides substantial evidence for its major claim that the preference for a particular strategy is motivated by that meaning component of the predicate which may be called directedness.
