Abstract
⺠Intransitives include unergatives (jump) unaccusatives (fall) or reflexives (shave). ⺠We explore whether reflexives are derived similarly to unaccusatives. ⺠Brain activations for reflexives and unaccusatives indicate different derivations. ⺠Unaccusatives activate lIFG, related to movement from object to subject position. ⺠Reflexives activate rMTG, related to the identification of the theme with the agent.
