Reflexivization
|
In a simple
sentence with a transitive VC, if the referent of the nominative NP is the
same as or includes the referent of the accusative NP, the sentence
undergoes a reflexive transformation. The accusative NP is deleted and the
VC is detransitivized by adding the reflexive derivative suffix /-tyu/.
