This chapter deals with the meaning of reflexives in relation to the meaning of their antecedents. It explains the sense of reflexives in relation to the sense of their antecedents and the reference of reflexives in relation to the reference of their antecedents. The chapter concerns meaning as such but with the meaning of one noun phrase in relation to the meaning of another. Insofar as there are restrictive modifiers, demonstratives, or quantifiers associated with a noun phrase, its meaning is not the same as the meaning of its head noun. The transformational theory of reflexivization assumes that reflexives and their antecedents have the same sense and the same reference. Some formulations of the transformational theory of reflexivization assume that in addition to the sense of a reflexive its reference is also given in the base, so that it too can be determined from the deep structure of the sentence in which the reflexive occurs.
