Toward a More Complete Typology of Anaphoric Expressions

Reinhart and Reuland (1993) propose the following typology of anaphoric expressions: SELF anaphors (+SELF, R), SE anaphors (SELF, R), and pronouns (SELF, +R). We argue that the Greek anaphor o eaftos tu the self his exemplifies a fourth type, predicted by Reinhart and Reuland's typology but not instantiated in their system: an inalienable possession anaphor (+SELF, +R). Within Reinhart and Reuland's framework such anaphors are allowed provided that (a) they do not enter into chain formation and (b) they satisfy the (reflexivity) binding conditions through abstract incorporation of the nominal head into the predicate they reflexivize. The proposed analysis makes valid predictions concerning the distribution of Greek anaphors as opposed to English/Dutch anaphors.
