DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, I propose a novel approach to deriving
  reflexives in transitive constructions that relies on the emergent coop
 eration between v and Voice in binding-as-agreement (BAA). I characteriz
 e anaphoricity with a reflexive-Voice that acts as a probe searching its
  c-command domain. The unvalued φ-features on a reflexive internal argum
 ent (IA) fail to satisfy (in the terminology of Deal\, 2015) the Voice-h
 ead. The two form a composite probe (as in Paparounas & Akkuş\, 2023) du
 e to the failed agreement. Once the next element is merged\, Voice finds
  the external argument (EA) in its specifier\, which values both element
 s.\n\nDeparting from works such as Rooryck & Vanden Wyngaerd (2011) and 
 Diercks et al. (2020)\, this analysis does not stipulate that antecedent
 s and anaphors directly agree with one another as probes and goals. More
 over\, I propose the conceptual revision that the IA in reflexive constr
 uctions does not remain in-situ. Rather\, it undergoes object shift as a
  result of obligatory EPP on the phase-head v — motivated by observation
 s of argument extraction in ergative/absolutive languages (e.g.\, Mandar
 : Brodkin\, 2022\; Chuj: Brodkin & Royer\, 2021). Crucially\, adopting t
 his proposal allows the IA to be directly accessible to the Voice-probe 
 when it begins search\, and the parsimonious strong Phase Impenetrabilit
 y Condition (PIC\; see Chomsky\, 2000\; Gallego\, 2020) can be maintaine
 d. Voice has no need to access the already spelled-out phase\, since the
  EPP feature on v feeds movement of the IA to the phase edge. From a bro
 ader perspective\, this novel combination proves especially relevant for
  future research on the distributional pattern of Condition A as a windo
 w into agreement relations.
