Reciprocal pronouns are a type of pronoun which can be used to refer to a noun phrase mentioned earlier in a sentence. The reciprocal pronouns found in English are ''one another'' and ''each other'', and they form the category of anaphors along with reflexive pronouns (''myself'', ''yourselves'', etc.). ==Theoretical and background information== Within the theory of generative grammar, and within phrase-structure grammar, Binding Theory explains how anaphors share a relationship with their referents. Binding Principle A of this theory states: #X binds Y if and only if X c-commands Y, and X and Y are coindexed, #Anaphors must be locally bound within the binding domain of the clause containing the DP Determiner phrase. In Binding Theory, the category of anaphor includes both reflexives and reciprocals, which is a problem, since they are distributed differently. The differences in the distribution of reflexives and reciprocals are illustrated below using X-bar theory tree diagrams. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Reciprocal pronoun」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
