Symmetrical binding of genitive possessors is found in bivalent clauses, as are reflexive (though not reciprocal) subjects. I propose that Tsova-Tush allows A-scrambling, subject to Lethal Ambiguity/Binding Preservation (McGinnis 2004, 2013) – although the relationship between A-scrambling and word order is not transparent. Moreover, I propose that logophoric reflexive subjects are licensed in non-agentive contexts. I argue that these Tsova-Tush anaphors behave parallel to their Georgian counterparts (pace Amiridze 2006) rather than to their Nakh counterparts (cf. Ganenkov & Bogomolova 2021); the behaviour of a second set of Tsova-Tush reflexives (morphologically parallel to their Nakh counterparts) has yet to be investigated.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Regards,</div><div class="">Dalina Kallulli</div></div><div class="">
