Abstract

This article deals with the usage of the Slovenian reflexive possessive pronoun svoj, which is contrasted with its Russian counterpart, the anaphoric pronoun svoj. It considers various syntactic environments and the issue of coreference between the pronoun and the antecedent. Examining the rules that govern the use of the reflexive possessive in both languages sheds light on the connection between the syntactic contexts they function in and the various meanings they express.
