+\subsection*{Reflexive and Associated Middle Situation Types}
+\summary{
+	\subsubsection*{The direct reflexive}
+	According to Faltz (1977), the archetypal semantically reflexive context is a simple two-participant clause
+		where one participant is Agent or Experiencer and the other a Patient, while both refer to the same entity\pagenr{42}.
+	This is the semantic prototype, since whenever a language marks coreference in other situtations,
+		it also does in this situation\pagenr{43}.
+	This reflexive is called the \term{direct reflexive}.
+	It is defined by
+		\term{coreference}, narrowed down by
+		\term{scope}\note{only simple clauses} and
+		\term{thematic roles}\note{Agent/Experiencer and Patient (Faltz)/Stimulus(Kemmer)}.
+
+	A \term{reflexive marker} (\RM) is
+		``a productive grammatical device that is used obligatorily
+		to mark direct reflexive contexts in at least the third person''\pagenr{47}.
+	All reflexive-marking languages use {\RM}s in the direct reflexive,
+		which is a second indicator that this is the semantic reflexive prototype.
+
+	The direct reflexive is a special case of a \term{two-participant event}.
+	The prototypical two-participant event has a human Agent act volitionally,
+		exerting physical force on an inanimate definite Patient,
+		which is directly affected by that event\pagenr{50}.
+	\parnote{This definition can be easily extended to include mental state- and perception-verbs,
+		using Experiencer/Stimulus terminology and/or the Initiator/Endpoint macroroles\pagenr{51}.}
+
+	\subsubsection*{Body action middles}
+	\term{Grooming actions} often have different markings than reflexive verbs,
+		so they are not a subset of the reflexive situation type\pagenr{54}.
+	\term{Changes in body posture}\note{stand (up); sit (down); lie (down)}
+		often appear as bare intransitives and therefore cannot be seen as direct reflexives either\pagenr{55}.
+	Also \term{nontranslational motion} verbs\note{turn, twist, bend (e.g. one's head)}
+	are often expressed using middle forms\pagenr{56},
+		as are verbs of \term{translational motion}\note{fly, flee, run, etc.}\pagenr{57}.
