Spanish Reciprocal Fragment

[Pal24]

Spanish encodes reciprocity with the reflexive-identical clitic se (the grammatical strategy) and the periphrastic el uno al otro, alongside a class of lexical reciprocal verbs — verbs with a transitive entry whose reciprocal reading also emerges without se in language-specific environments ([Pal24] ch. 2, Table 2.2; Appendix A carries the verb list formalized in lexicalReciprocals).

def Spanish.Reciprocals.seClitic : Reciprocal.Marker

se — reflexive/reciprocal clitic ([Pal24] ch. 2).

Equations

• Spanish.Reciprocals.seClitic = { form := "se", strategy := Reciprocal.Strategy.recipClitic, readings := [Reciprocal.Reading.reciprocal, Reciprocal.Reading.reflexive] }

def Spanish.Reciprocals.bipartite : Reciprocal.Marker

el uno al otro — periphrastic bipartite reciprocal (consensus periphrastic).

Equations

• Spanish.Reciprocals.bipartite = { form := "el uno al otro", strategy := Reciprocal.Strategy.bipartiteNP }

def Spanish.Reciprocals.markers : List Reciprocal.Marker

Marker inventory, primary strategy first.

Equations

• Spanish.Reciprocals.markers = [Spanish.Reciprocals.seClitic, Spanish.Reciprocals.bipartite]

def Spanish.Reciprocals.lexicalReciprocals : List Verb

The verbs carrying lexical reciprocal entries ([Pal24], Appendix A), referenced as ordinary verb entries — the lexical strategy marks predicates, not forms. The transitive alternate is the entry itself (homophonous in Romance).
