Reflexive

反身式

A term used in grammatical description to refer to a verb or construction where the subject and the object relate to the same entity. English uses reflexive pronouns to express this relationship, but the same verbal meaning is often present without the pronoun. In government-binding theory, reflexives, together with reciprocals, NP-traces and PRO, are base generated anaphors - a class of NPs.

语法描写术语，指一个动词或构式的主语和宾语指同一实体。英语中用反身代词表示这种关系，但有时不用代词动词就能表达反身意义。在管辖与约束理论中，反身代词与NP语迹和大代语PRO一起都是由基础生成的照应语——NP的一类。
