Reflex: reflexive
Boolean feature of pronouns or determiners. It tells whether the word is reflexive, i.e. refers to the subject of its clause.
In Russian, reflexive pronouns do not have various functions:
Reflexive object of a verb means that the object is the same entity as the subject: Ян купил себе машину = “Jan bought himself a car” vs. Ян купил ему машину = “Jan bought him [someone else] a car”
Reflexive possessives indicate that the subject of the clause is the possessor:
- Ян продал свою машину. “Jan sold his [own] car.”
- Ян продал его машину. “Jan sold his [someone else’s] car.”
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: себя, себе, себя, собой, себе (occurs in various cases but not in nominative; does not distinguish Number)
- reflexive possessive pronoun: свой
