ABSTRACT
Reflexives and their antecedents must satisfy certain conditions that specifically characterize the relation between there. This chapter concerns certain examples that might seem to case doubt on the validity of some of the conditions. To postulate such antecedents simply to make certain recalcitrant examples conform to conditions to which they would otherwise constitute exceptions would be ad hoc. Jackendoff, in his discussion of reflexives that appear to be associated with antecedent noun phrases that do not have the same sentential ancestry as they do, only takes into consideration reflexives contained in sentential phrases with nominal heads. The fact that the reflexives in question have noun phrase stress suggest that in the underlying structure they should be represented as emphatic reflexives, the antecedents of which are supplied in accordance with this proposal. The deletion rule just motivated allows one to delete the second person subject that is present in the structures underlying imperative sentences.
