Abstract:

Reflexivity in Vedic offers a corpus-based synchronic and diachronic analysis
of reflexivity in the language of the R̥gveda and Atharvaveda, two of the most
ancient corpora ever composed in an Indo-European language. Applying a
functional and cognitivist framework, Verónica Orqueda discusses the different
possible strategies and proposes a distribution determined by the interaction
between reflexivity, transitivity and valency. This study enriches typological
approaches to the emergence of reflexives and therefore, on the basis of the
Vedic data, it shows that nominal reflexive strategies may especially arise in
contexts of underspecified verbal valency.
