Abstract

Abstract

This paper presents a unified outlook on the syntax of constructions featuring the reflexive clitic , with particular emphasis on the uniform morphosyntax of the Hungarian element , treated as an exponent of both in the verbal domain and in the nominal domain (in ordinal numeral constructions). The analysis is couched in the syntax of predication proposed in Den Dikken (2006), with represented as the subject of a reverse predication.
