Syntax and Semantics Seminar: Byron Ahn “How to Build “Yourself” Up: Reflexive Anaphors from the Inside-Out”
Campbell Hall 2122Explorations of reflexivity have looked at how a set of reflexive anaphors distribute in larger structures (particularly in clauses), taking for granted that reflexive anaphors constitute a natural class to which the grammar can make explicit reference (e.g., with binding principles).

However, while in constructions with nominalized adjectives the classifier has referential properties (similar to...
