It challenges the assumption common in the typological, syntactic, and semantic literature, namely that so-called reciprocal constructions encode symmetric relations. Instead, they are analyzed as constructions encoding unspecified relations. In effect, it provides a new proposal for the truth-conditional semantics of these constructions. More broadly, this book introduces new ways of bringing together historical linguistics and formal semantics, demonstrating how, on the one hand, the inclusion of historical data concerning the sources of reciprocal constructions enriches their synchronic analysis; and how, on the other hand, an analysis of the syntax and the semantics of these constructions serves as a key for understanding their historical origins. 05 The book thus can serve the needs of a wide range of readership. I encourage everyone with an interest in the natural language encoding of reciprocity to cover the whole book. It takes a unique approach in grouping together different reciprocal constructions under the umbrella term NP-strategy and in the postulation of a uniform, weak semantics for thiw whole class. The result is a novel and highly insightful contribution to the study of reciprocity, which will most probably fertilize the field in several compartments.
