Reciprocal verb entries #

A reciprocal verb expresses mutual action without a reciprocal anaphor, as intransitive kiss, Hebrew hitnašek and French s'embrasser do. An entry records the verb, the locus where reciprocalization formed it, which is Reinhart and Siloni's lexicon-syntax parameter, and its transitive alternate when the vocabulary has one; frozen entries such as Hebrew hitgošeš 'wrestle' lack one. The subject profile bundled from the base's grid is the union of the base's two entailment profiles, Reinhart and Siloni's role bundling.
