在本文中，我们认为，反身动词的不确定性分析必须放弃，因为反身系统地失败的句法测试的不确定性。它们是非作格条目，其主语是外部论元，不像非作格的主语。我们采用的观点，反身是从他们的传递交替的减少操作，减少内部的论点，只要它是确定其外部的共论点。此外，我们认为，减少有两种模式的应用程序：词汇模式和句法之一。这就是为什么反身代词在希伯来语类型语言和法语类型语言中表现出一些不同的特征。在我们看来，反身化在跨语言中本质上是相同的现象。这两种反身代词的区别，例如在希伯来语和法语中，是因为语法中使用了不同的归约成分。
In this paper we argue that the unaccusative analysis of reflexive verbs must be discarded, as reflexives systematically fail syntactic tests of unaccusativity. They are unergative entries, whose subject is an external argument, unlike the subject of unaccusatives. We adopt the view that reflexives are derived from their transitive alternate by a reduction operation that reduces the internal argument provided that it is identified with its external coargument. Further, we argue that reduction has two modes of application: a lexical mode and a syntactic one. This is what makes reflexives show somewhat different characteristics in Hebrew-type languages vs. French type-languages. In our view, then, reflexivization is essentially the same phenomenon cross-linguistically. The distinctions between the two types of reflexives, e.g. in Hebrew and French, follow from the different component of grammar in which reduction applies.
