It challenges the assumption common in the typological, syntactic, and semantic literature, namely that so-called reciprocal constructions encode symmetric relations. Instead, they are analyzed as constructions encoding unspecified relations. In effect, it provides a new proposal for the truth-conditional semantics of these constructions. More broadly, this book introduces new ways of bringing together historical linguistics and formal semantics, demonstrating how, on the one hand, the inclusion of historical data concerning the sources of reciprocal constructions enriches their synchronic analysis; and how, on the other hand, an analysis of the syntax and the semantics of these constructions serves as a key for understanding their historical origins"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aTypological studies in language ;$vVolume 127. 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xReciprocals 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xReciprocals. 676 $a415 700 $aBar-Asher Siegal$b Elitzur A.$01581736 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910794098503321 996 $aThe NP-strategy for expressing reciprocity$93863507 997 $aUNINA
