This monograph constitutes the first comprehensive investigation of 
reciprocal constructions and related phenomena in the world's 
languages. Reciprocal constructions (of the type The two boys hit 
each other, The poets admire each other's poems) have often been the 
subject of language-particular studies, but it is only in this work 
that a truly global comparative picture emerges. Nine stage-setting 
chapters dealing with general and theoretical matters are followed by 
40 chapters containing in-depth descriptions of reciprocals in 
individual languages by renowned specialists. The introductory papers 
provide a conceptual and terminological framework that allows the 
authors of the individual chapters to characterize their languages in 
comparable terms, making it easy for the reader to see points of 
commonality between languages and constructions that have never been 
compared before. This set of volumes is an indispensable starting 
point and will be a lasting reference work for any future studies of 
reciprocals.
