CAT	This article needs proper categorization. You can help Glottopedia by categorizing it Please do not remove this block until the problem is fixed.

Reciprocals behave as anaphors with respect to binding theory, and require a plural antecedent (*that gang hates each other).

An example would be an element such as each other in (i).

(i) [John and Mary]i can't stand each otheri
