abstract = {{The past four decades have seen a lot of new research on reflexive constructions{\textless}br{\textgreater}that goes far beyond the earlier literature, and a variety of technical terms have{\textless}br{\textgreater}been used. The divergent frameworks have made some of this literature hard to{\textless}br{\textgreater}access. This paper provides a nontechnical overview of the most important kinds{\textless}br{\textgreater}of phenomena in the world{\textquoteright}s languages and offers a coherent conceptual{\textless}br{\textgreater}frame-work and a set of cross-linguistically applicable technical terms, defined also in{\textless}br{\textgreater}an appendix. I also explain other widely used terms that do not form part of the{\textless}br{\textgreater}present conceptual system (defined in another appendix). The paper begins with a{\textless}br{\textgreater}definition of the most basic term (reflexive construction) and then moves to types{\textless}br{\textgreater}of reflexivizers (reflexive pronouns and reflexive voice markers), as well as{\textless}br{\textgreater}syntactic concepts such as ranks and domains. I also briefly discuss obviative anaphoric{\textless}br{\textgreater}pronouns and antireflexive marking. Finally, I introduce the distinction between{\textless}br{\textgreater}discourse-referential and co-varying coreference. The general philosophy is that{\textless}br{\textgreater}we will understand general questions about reflexive constructions (i.e. questions{\textless}br{\textgreater}not restricted to the language-particular level) only when we know what is{\textless}br{\textgreater}universal and what is historically accidental, so there is also an appendix that lists some{\textless}br{\textgreater}possible universals of reflexive constructions.}},
