Abstract:

This book presents a comprehensive picture of reflexive pronouns from both a
theoretical and experimental perspective, using the well-researched languages
of English, German, Dutch, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. In order to
understand the data from varying theoretical perspectives, the book considers
selected syntactic and pragmatic analyses based on their current importance in
the field. The volume consequently introduces the Emergentist Reflexivity
Approach, which is a novel theoretical synthesis incorporating a sentence and
pragmatic processor that accounts for reflexive pronoun behaviour in these six
languages. Moreover, in support of this model a vast array of experimental
literature is considered, including first and second language acquisition,
bilingual, psycholinguistic, neurolinguistic and clinical studies. It is
through both the intuitive and experimental data linguistic theorizing relies
upon that brings out the strengths of the modelling adopted here, paving new
avenues for future research. In sum, this volume unites a diverse array of the
literature that currently sits largely divorced between the theoretical and
experimental realms, and when put together a better understanding of reflexive
pronouns under the auspices of the Emergentist Reflexivity Approach is forged.
