Description
The noun phrase that a reflexive pronoun ("herself", "himself", "themselves") corefers with must command it in a sense similar to that relevant for negative-polarity items. In these test suites, the reflexive pronoun ending the sentence can only corefer to the subject of the sentence, with which it must agree in number: a singular subject requires a singular reflexive, and a plural subject requires a plural reflexive.
