Dear Prof. Schulze,

While you are doing your typology of reflexives, I wonder if you and your
students could check to see how reflexives in various languages
adistributed aover the various metaphors for the self (see Ch. 13 of
Philosophy in the Flesh). We have preliminary results for Japanese, but not
much else besides English.
