Abstract
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. © 2023, the authors. All rights reserved.
