A presuppositional semantics for reflexives  

 

It will essentially go through some evidence (from English) that reflexives are no different than non-reflexive pronouns, in that both are interpreted as individual denoting variables that can be either free or bound. But, also that reflexive interpretation is different due to the presence of the reflexive morphology (i.e. -self), and I'll go through the motivation for giving reflexive morphology a presuppositional semantics.
