Abstract:
This book offers a completely new analysis of the syntax and semantics
of transitive reflexive sentences in German, which is embedded in the
major phenomenon of the middle voice in Indo-European languages. It
integrates the interpretation of non-argument reflexives into a
modified version of recent theories of binding. The ambiguity of the
reflexive pronoun is derived at the interface between syntax and
semantics and does not rely on additional lexical or syntactic rules
of argument suppression and argument promotion. This shift towards the
semantic interpretation of syntactic arguments enables the author to
offer a unified analysis of the middle, the anticausative and the
reflexive interpretations. Furthermore, the crucial distinction
between structural and oblique case forms is discussed and it is
illustrated how specific properties of middle constructions such as
adverbial modification or subject responsibility can be related to the
generic interpretation of middle constructions.
