Towards Reciprocal Deverbal Nouns in Czech: From Reciprocal Verbs to Reciprocal Nouns

Reciprocal verbs are widely debated in the current linguistics. However, other parts of speech can be characterized by reciprocity as well – in contrast to verbs, their analysis is underdeveloped so far. In this paper, we make an attempt to fill this gap, applying results of the description of Czech reciprocal verbs to nouns derived from these verbs. We show that many aspects characteristic of reciprocal verbs hold for reciprocal nouns as well.
