Geniušienė E. The Typology of Reflexives. Berlin: Mouton de Gruyter. 1987. Pp. xx + 435.
The ultimate concern of this volume is with the typology of reflexives in over 50 Indo-European and non-Indo-European languages. It aims at establishing the range of meanings of reflexives across languages and the limits placed on their variation. The theoretical framework for a cross-linguistic analysis of reflexives is developed on the basis of and first applied to the Baltic languages (modern standard Lithuanian and Latvian, and extinct Old Prussian), exhibiting extremely numerous and semantically varied reflexive verbs.
