Description

A short note on our terminology: the term reflexivizer refers to any
specialized form that expresses coreference within a clause. By specialized form we
understand a form which at least in certain conditions necessarily expresses the
coreference meaning (even if non-coreference meanings are possible elsewhere).
Reflexivizers can be dependent or non-dependent forms like reflexive (pro)nouns,
reflexive argument markers, or reflexive voice markers. Languages that have not
developed a specialized reflexivizer express coreference with the help of other
linguistic forms, e.g. personal pronouns. In this context, we prefer to talk about
a non-reflexive form.
