Forthcoming: Reflexive constructions in the world's languages

This landmark publication brings together 26 papers on reflexive constructions in languages from around the world, covering all continents and diverse language types. Even though reflexive constructions have often been discussed from a variety of angles, this is the first edited volume of its kind. All the chapters are based on original data collected by the authors, and they are broadly comparable through careful terminological usage, even though each paper is primarily based on language-internal evidence. The volume also contains two introductory chapters by the editors that set the stage and lay out the main comparative concepts, as well as one concluding chapter that presents generalizations.
