Reflex: reflexive
Boolean feature of pronouns or determiners. It tells whether the word is reflexive, i.e. refers to the subject of its clause.
Reflexive object of a verb means that the object is the same entity as the subject:
- կը պատմէ իր մասին/kë patmē ir masin “he tells about himself” vs.
- կը պատմէ անոր մասին/kë patmē anor masin “he tells about him [someone else]”
Reflexive possessives indicate that the subject of the clause is the possessor:
- իրենց բողոքը կ՚արտայայտեն/irencʼ boġokʼë k՚artayayten “They express their [own] protest”
- անոնց բողոքը կ՚արտայայտեն/anoncʼ boġokʼë k՚artayayten “They express their [someone else] protest”
Yes: it is reflexive
Note that there is no No value. If the word is not reflexive, the Reflex feature will just not be mentioned in the FEAT column, which means that empty value has the No meaning.
Examples
- reflexive personal pronouns: իր, իրեն/ir, iren “himself/herself/itself”, իրենց/irencʼ“themselves” (occur in various cases but not in nominative and distinguish Number)
- reflexive possessive determiners: իր/ir “his/her/its own”, իրենց/irencʼ “their own”
