4.4. Reciprocal PP

Reciprocals are annotated as PPs specified by NPs:

(PP (NP (D-UM-P uns))
(P a@)
(NP (D-P @os)
(OUTRO-P outros)))

When the reciprocal doubles a clitic, the PP carries the dash tag -PRN:
(IP-MAT (NP-SBJ *pro*)
        (VB-P amamo@)
        (NP-ACC (CL @nos)
                (PP-PRN *ICH*-1))
        (PP-PRN-1 (NP (D-UM-P uns))
                  (P a@)
                  (NP (D-P @os)
                      (OUTRO-P outros)))
        (. .))
(IP-MAT (NP-SBJ *pro*)
        (VB-P escrevemo@)
        (NP-DAT (CL @nos)
                (PP-PRN *ICH*-1))
        (PP-PRN-1 (NP (D-UM-P uns))
                  (P a@)
                  (NP (D-P @os)
                      (OUTRO-P outros)))
        (. .))
If the doubled clitic is not overt, the PP receives the dash tag -ACC or -DAT (depending on the gramatical function of the clitic):
(IP-MAT (NP-SBJ *pro*)
        (VB-P amamos)
        (PP-ACC (NP (D-UM-P uns))
                (P a@)
                (NP (D-P @os)
                    (OUTRO-P outros)))
        (. .))
(IP-MAT (NP-SBJ *pro*)
        (VB-P escrevemos)
        (PP-DAT (NP (D-UM-P uns))
                (P a@)
                (NP (D-P @os)
                    (OUTRO-P outros)))
        (. .))
In the cases in which the reciprocal does not double a clitic, no dash tag is added to the PP:
(IP-MAT (NP-SBJ *pro*)
        (VB-P vamos)
        (PP (P a@)
            (NP (D @o)
                (N cinema)))
        (PP (NP (D-UM-P uns))
            (P com)
            (NP (D-P os)
                (OUTRO-P outros)))
        (. .))

                  In clauses with 3rd singular verbs, reciprocal expressions are annotated differently, with "um" acting as the subject of the clause and "ao outro" as a separate PP (see below for examples).
