It goes down into embedded sentences just like English pronominalization.Section 2 treats backward reflexivization in emotive causatives in which the subject-antecedent condition appears to be violated. First, it is demonstrated that all of the current analyses of emotive causatives are far from adequate. Then it is shown that backward reflexivization in emotive causatives is actually part of a more general problem, namely, backward reflexivization in nonagentive causative constructions. In Section 3, I claim that backward reflexivization is actually an instance of ordinary forward reflexivization in which the true antecedent has been
