single role strategy (str)
a.k.a.
the strategy of construing the affected subject participant as a single role in a reflexive or reciprocal event; hence, it is expressed by a single argument phrase in a reflexive construction or a reciprocal construction. Examples: English Sam shaved and Mary and Sue met construe the participants -- Sam, and Mary and Sue, respectively -- as playing a single role in the shaving and meeting events. The single role strategy may also be overtly coded: the Abkhaz Reflexive l-c̜ə-l-k°abe-yt'
She washed (herself)is an Intransitive Verb form with the Reflexive prefix c̜ə-, and the Swahili Reciprocal wa-na-pend-an-a
they love each otheris an Intransitive Verb form with the Reciprocal suffix -an. (Section 7.2)
