本文提出了反身化的统一分析方法，它同样适用于闪族语言和罗曼语。我们将我们的描述与前人的描述进行了对比，这些描述区分了闪语中发现的那种反身化，它是受小句约束的，可以作为名词化的输入，并且对动词的语义敏感，而在《罗曼蒂克》中发现的那种反身化，它适用于从句，不是名词化的输入，对动词的语义不敏感。这些分析认为，义类的反身化是一种“词汇”操作，而“罗曼式”反身化是一种“句法”操作，尽管在这两种情况下，反身化都被描述为一种适用于动词主位角色的操作。我们赞同所有的价变化操作都适用于一个统一的域的观点，认为闪族和罗曼史中的反身化可以作为完全相同类型的操作在完全相同的局部域中进行统一的分析。在《罗曼蒂克》中发现的句法残留物根本不是反身化，而是更好地分析为回指约束。这种混乱是由于反身词法和反身回指之间的融合，而反身回指又是代词词化的语言变化的结果。我们解决了一些问题，这些问题使得罗曼斯的反身性修辞不能作为回指进行分析。
The paper proposes a unified analysis of reflexivization, applicable equally to Semitic languages and to Romance languages. We contrast our account with previous ones that have distinguished between reflexivization of the sort found in Semitic, which is clause-bound, can be the input to nominalization, and is sensitive to the semantics of the verb, and reflexivization of the sort found in Romance which applies across clauses, is not the input to nominalization and is insensitive to the semantics of the verb. These analyses take reflexivization of the Semitic type to be a "lexical" operation, and Romance reflexivization to be a "syntactic" operation, though in both cases, reflexivization is characterized as an operation applying to the thematic roles of the verb. Consonant with the view that all valence changing operations apply to a uniform domain, we argue that reflexivization in Semitic and in Romance can be given a uniform analysis as an operation of exactly the same type in exactly the same local domain. The "syntactic" residue found in Romance can be shown not to be reflexivization at all, but to be better analyzed as anaphoric binding. The confusion is due to the syncretism between reflexive morphology and reflexive anaphors, in turn the result of a language change whereby pronouns morphologize. We address the issues which have precluded Romance reflexive clitics from being analyzed as anaphors.
