Ještě k modelování reciprocity v teoretickém popisu češtiny

Markéta Lopatková

Abstract:

The paper addresses the so-called discontinuous reciprocal constructions in Czech and their description
in grammar and lexicon, as recently discussed by J. Pergler. Two ways of treating discontinuous
constructions are introduced: (i) to handle these constructions in the grammar as one type
of constructions of non-reflexive verbs, and (ii) to capture them in the lexicon as constructions of
derived reflexive verbs. The advantages and disadvantages of both these approaches are carefully
considered with the conclusion that the latter approach is more advantageous as it complies with
the fact that discontinuous constructions are – with respect to the lexicon-grammar continuum –
rather at the lexical end.
