我们认为，关于动词反身性的跨语言的变化是参数，反映了一个更广泛的词汇-句法参数：arity operationsoperations on -roles，这影响了谓词的效价可以应用在词汇或句法。这一参数的重要经验覆盖支持的观点，词汇必须是语法的一个积极的组成部分。讨论的重点是反身动词的构成。我们认为，反身动词有一个underivative派生的流行观点不能维持。相反，反身化操作将一个-role与一个外部-role捆绑在一起，形成一个必须在外部合并的组合。接下来，我们还简要回顾了其他的arity操作：（a）互惠，（B）decausativization，（c）饱和，这涉及到被动句，中间句和非人称的形成。由于反身化或其他arity操作的应用，辅助选择的变化是独立的词汇语法参数，并遵循我们的方法从结构化的情况下参数。
We argue that crosslinguistic variation regarding verbal reflexivization is parametric, reflecting a broader lexicon-syntax parameter: arity operationsoperations on -roles, which affect the valence of a predicatecan apply in the lexicon or in the syntax. The significant empirical coverage of this parameter supports the view that the lexicon must be an active component of the grammar. The discussion focuses mainly on the formation of reflexive verbs. We argue that the prevailing view that reflexive verbs have an unaccusative derivation cannot be maintained. Rather, the reflexivization operation bundles a -role with an external -role, forming a combination that must merge externally. Next, we also briefly review other arity operations: (a) reciprocalization, (b) decausativization, and (c) saturation, which is involved in the formation of passives, middles, and impersonals. Variation in auxiliary selection, owing to the application of reflexivization or other arity operations, is independent of the lexicon-syntax parameter and follows under our approach from a structural accusative Case parameter.
