Patrick A. Tiller 60 tures that I considered were impossible to test for. For example, all of the trig- gers of both lists were either human or God (except for one reflexive whose trigger was love, personified) so that it is impossible to know whether humanness has any effect. Since I was testing only for third person reflexives I could not consider the relation of the speaker to the referent of the trigger, though it seems that reflexives are more frequent in the third person. Other features that I tested for (the definiteness of the trigger, word order) seemed irrelevant. Verbs that expressed the feeling of the referent of the trigger toward the NP that governs the reflexive never had a simple personal pronoun but in each case the reflexive could be adequately explained by other means. There were three features that seemed to result in the use of the reflex- ive. The first is that in every case where there was a contrast between the referent of the pronoun and something else, the reflexive was used. 1 Cor 10:29 suneidhsin de; levgw ouci; th;n eJautou` ajlla; th;n tou` eJtevrou. v conscience but I-say not the of-yourself but the of-the other. Now I do not mean your own conscience but that of the other. The syntax of this was explained above. What is important to see here is that what determines the use of the reflexive is that it is contrasted with tou` eJtevrou (‘the other’). A frequent example of this is with the phrase ta; eautwn (‘ones own things’). J ' eJautw'n zhtou`sin, ouj ta; ’Ihsou` Phil 2:21 oiJ pavnte~ ga;r ta; the all for the-things of-themselves seek, not the-things of-Jesus Cristou. ` Christ. For everyone seeks his own interests and not those of Jesus Christ. In this case the general issue seems to be focus. Contrast necessarily puts the focus on the items being contrasted. The second and third factors are not, by themselves, sufficient reasons to use the reflexive, but only when used in combination. The second fac- tor that seems to affect the choice of reflexive is that if the trigger is also the agent of the action that is received by the pronoun, then the pronoun is more likely to be reflexive. The third factor is that if the referent of the NP that governs the pronoun is part of the body or family of the referent of the trigger, then the reflexive is likely to be used 20. Neither the second nor the third factor is sufficient in itself to trigger a reflexive. In each of the following examples, both of these factors are present. 20 Possibly one should add that the referent of the trigger should be aware of his or her relation to the referent of the NP that governs the pronoun or that the statement must be made from the point of view of the referent of the trigger.
