Study title

The Typological Database of Intensifiers and Reflexives (TDIR) provides information on intensifiers and reflexives as well as on some related domains of grammar such as the middle voice and scalar focus particles. Its focus is on accurate language description and documentation ('grammar fragments'). The data have been obtained from both native speaker consultation (primary data) and literature on the relevant topics and languages (secondary data). For secondary data, sources and references are generally indicated. The database contains information on more than a hundred languages, including approximately 600 examples. The sample is not balanced genetically or areally.
