Russian Reciprocal Fragment #
@cite{nordlinger-2023} @cite{konig-kokutani-2006}
Russian uses a dedicated reciprocal pronoun "drug druga" (друг друга, literally 'friend of friend'). This is an NP/argument strategy (bivalent): it occupies the object position and preserves transitivity. It is formally distinct from the reflexive "sebja" (себя).
The first element "drug" agrees in case with the subject, while "druga" takes the case assigned by the verb.
друг друга drug druga — reciprocal pronoun 'each other'.
