dual role strategy (str)
a.k.a.
the strategy of construing the affected subject participant as playing two distinct roles in a reflexive or reciprocal event; hence, it is expressed by two distinct argument phrases in a reflexive construction or a reciprocal construction. Examples: the Sa verb form ir-ben-ir [3du -shoot-3du ]
They shoot them / they shoot themselves / they shoot each otherconstrues the plural participants as playing distinct roles, and thereby uses the transitive construction (
They shoot them) to express either a reflexive event (
They shoot themselves) or a reciprocal event (
They shoot each other). (Section 7.2)
