Reinhart and Reuland (1993) divide anaphors into two types—SE-anaphors and SELF anaphors—based on their ability to reflexivize the predicates that they are arguments of. Lidz (1995, 2001a) presents anaphors from Kannada, a Dravidian language, as a clear case of evidence for Reinhart and Reuland’s SE/SELF distinction. In this paper, I examine anaphors of Tamil, another Dravidian language, and show, contra Lidz, that they do not support but in fact falsify the SE/SELF distinction. The same conclusion is drawn for Kannada anaphors.
