Reflexive constructions in Thulung

Résumé

In this contribution, I present reflexive constructions in Thulung (Sino-Tibetan, Nepal). After introducing the language and its basic morphosyntax, I describe the primary reflexive strategy, which is the reflexive voice marker-siʈ, as well as the other uses of the same voice marker and the unclear status of the emphatic nominal twap in reflexivization. I then discuss the expression of coreference with different verb types, and with different semantic roles, before describing the difficulties of expressing partial coreference. I close the chapter with examples of long-distance coreference, a relatively simple situation in Thulung, which can embed reported discourse (or thought) only as direct speech.
