Abstract:

Reciprocals are an increasingly hot topic in linguistic research. This reflects the 
intersection of several factors: the semantic and syntactic complexity of 
reciprocal constructions, their centrality to some key points of linguistic 
theorizing (such as Binding Conditions on anaphors within Government and 
Binding Theory), and the centrality of reciprocity to theories of social structure, 
human evolution and social cognition. No existing work, however, tackles the 
question of exactly what reciprocal constructions mean cross-linguistically. Is 
there a single, Platonic 'reciprocal' meaning found in all languages, or is there a 
cluster of related concepts which are nonetheless impossible to characterize in 
any single way? That is the central goal of this volume, and it develops and 
explains new techniques for tackling this question. At the same time, it 
confronts a more general problem facing semantic typology: how to investigate 
a category cross-linguistically without pre-loading the definition of the 
phenomenon on the basis of what is found in more familiar languages.
