This study examines the referential properties of a class of complex pronouns labelled M-pronouns, exemplified by Old English HIMSELF, French LUI-MEME and English HIS OWN. It is shown that M-pronouns exhibit some properties commonly taken as characterizing reflexive anaphors, and that they also occur as 'intensive' pronouns. II is shown, however, that they are not anaphors, and that labelling them' intensives' does not suffice to account for their distribution. It is argued that the semantic properties of M-pronouns may be derived from their morphological structure. Their pronoun component (Old English HIM, French LUI, English HIS) is not a pronominal, in the sense of the Binding Theory, but a bindable expression unspecified for disjoint reference and locality. In the complex form created by M-adjunction, the pronoun is crucially de-stressed and, correlatively, interpreted as endophoric.
