Contrast, Discourse Prominence, and Intensification, with Special Reference to Locally Free Reflexives in British English.
Baker, C. L.
Language, v71 n1 p63-101 Mar 1995
Locally free reflexives in British English are analyzed as intensified nonnominative pronouns, subject to a contrastiveness requirement and a requirement that the character referred to be more central than other characters in the set. The extent to which discourse prominence marking can mimic locality marking may explain conversions of intensives to anaphors. (38 references) (Author/CK)
