At LF, all reflexive-marked predicates must be semantically reflexive. While it is true that there are two types of reflexive-marking, it is not true that each has the same semantic content.
Lexical reflexivity is the only possible expression of semantic reflexivity.
In Dutch, according to RR, the only time zich may be bound by a coargument is if the predicate is lexically reflexive. Zichzelf , on the other hand, syntactically reflexivizes a predicate and thus permits coargument binding in all cases. If syntactic and lexical reflexivity have different semantic representations, then a single semantic notion of reflexive predicate must not be what unifies them. Further data supporting this distinction comes from comparative deletion constructions. She defended herself better than Peter defended himself' b.
