Section III:b |
|
Now we go on to consider the emphatic N.A-anaphors
and begin with svayam . Observe the following sentences: |
|
(58) |
|
ram ne ye kitab svayam kharidi
i i
ram CM this book himself buy+PAST
(Ram bought this book himself.)
|
|
|
|
(59) |
|
svayam
ram ne mohan ko dekha
i i
himself ram CM mohan CM see+PAST
(Ram himself saw Mohan.)
|
|
|
|
(60) |
|
ram ne mohan ko svayam dekha
i i
ram
CM mohan CM himself see+PAST
(Ram himself saw Mohan.)
|
|
|
|
|
In (58) and (60) each, morphological material
intervenes between svayam and ram. In (59),
svayam immediately precedes ram. In all
the three, the antecedent of svayam is ram
which is the agent. |
|
Now, consider: |
(61)
|
|
ram
ne svayam mohan ko dekha
i i,j
j
ram CM himself mohan CM see+PAST
(Ram saw Mohan himself.)
