Abstract

Reflexive (most..., including himself and reciprocal (no... except each other) determiners are anaphoric determiners. They form arguments of transitive verbs which cannot occur in subject position of sentences. Various logical properties (invariance, conservativity, a-conservativity, a-intersectivity) of functions denoted by these determiners are studied. These properties account for their anaphoricity and show formal differences between anaphoric and ordinary determiners.
