As a rule, the existence of objective reflexive constructions presupposes a developed system of subjective reflexive constructions, and the existence of deagentive reflexive constructions usually implies the existence of objective reflexive constructions.
Standardized
IF there are deagentive reflexive constructions, THEN there are objective reflexive constructions. IF there are objective reflexive constructions, THEN there will be subjective reflexive constructions.
0. Note that different relations are posited here: “presupposes”, “implies”! Are they intended as mere terminological variants? 1. A SUBJECTIVE RC is a type of RC with the agent-subject of RC (typically human) identical with that of non-reflexive construction (NC); e.g., Russian: Sobaka kusaet ljudej [dog bites people] ‘The dog bites people’ => Sobaka kusaet-sja [dog bites-ReflMarker] ‘The dog bites’. 2. An OBJECTIVE RC is a type of RC with the agent-subject (typically inanimate) not identical with that of NC (instead, it is identical with the patient-object of NC); e.g., German: Er öffnete das Fenster [he opened the window] ‘He opened the window’ => Das Fenster öffnete sich [the window opened ReflMarker]. Gäste füllten den Saal [guests filled.in the: Acc hall] ‘Guests filled in the hall’ => Der Saal füllte sich mit Gästen [the:Nom hall filled.in ReflMarker with guests]. 3. A DEAGENTIVE RC is a type of RC, with the agent identical with the agent-subject of NC, but not expressed by a subject RC; e.g., Russian: On dremlet [he:Nom is.dozing] ‘He is dozing’ => (Jemu) dermlet-sja [(he: Dat) is.dozing-ReflMarker] ‘Dozing overtakes (him)’. Oni skladyvajut krovat’ [they fold bed] ‘They fold the bed’ => Krovat’ skladyvaet-sja (imi) [bed is.folded-ReflMarker (by.them)] ‘The bed is folded (by them)’.
