This paper looks at the Serbian language and the differences its lexical reciprocals - reciprocal verbs that constitute independent lexical entries with inherent reciprocal meaning - and grammatical reciprocals - those derived from transitive counterparts, which only gain reciprocal meaning through the use of a reciprocal marker (the clitic "se" or the pronominal "jedan drugog" 'each other'). The main syntactic criteria taken into account when drawing the line between the two types are the possibility of using a reciprocal verb with the discontinuous phrase ("sa" 'with' + NPins), which identifies lexical reciprocals, and the possibility of replacing "se" with the anaphoric expression "jedan drugog" in the accusative case, which is a sign of grammatically derived reciprocals. An overview is given of eight lexical and three grammatical reciprocal subgroups. Each subgroup is illustrated using examples drawn from the Corpus of Contemporary Serbian Language.

Abstract

This paper looks at the Serbian language and the differences its lexical reciprocals - reciprocal verbs that constitute independent lexical entries with inherent reciprocal meaning - and grammatical reciprocals - those derived from transitive counterparts, which only gain reciprocal meaning through the use of a reciprocal marker (the clitic "se" or the pronominal "jedan drugog" 'each other'). The main syntactic criteria taken into account when drawing the line between the two types are the possibility of using a reciprocal verb with the discontinuous phrase ("sa" 'with' + NPins), which identifies lexical reciprocals, and the possibility of replacing "se" with the anaphoric expression "jedan drugog" in the accusative case, which is a sign of grammatically derived reciprocals. An overview is given of eight lexical and three grammatical reciprocal subgroups. Each subgroup is illustrated using examples drawn from the Corpus of Contemporary Serbian Language.
