A preview
I will soon make postings on some alleged generalizations that have been widely accepted in the generative grammatical literature (even to the extent that they are presented as such in 'textbooks' in Japanese linguistics). Among the generalizations in question are those having to do with the hypotheses in (i).

(i) Zibunzisin has the same formal property as English reflexives (e.g., himself) in terms of the requirement of having its 'antecedent' in a particular structural position.

(ii) Otagai has the same formal property as English reciprocal each other in terms of the requirement of having its 'antecedent' in a particular structural position.

If you are interested in some relevant discussion, please take a look at:

"Assessing Competing Analyses: Two Hypotheses about 'Scrambling' in Japanese" (2006) in Ayumi Ueyama, ed., Theoretical and Empirical Studies of Reference and Anaphora?Toward the establishment of generative grammar as an empirical science, pp. 139-185.

which is downloadable at the "Downloadable Papers" page.
