Alternation ‘Indirect Reciprocal Reflexive’ (Coded)

A pattern where the verb is (di)transitive and the A arguments and the recipient/benefactive argument act on each other and are both Benefactive of the verbal activity. In its non-canonical realizations A may be inanimate. In this pattern, reciprocity is often overtly expressed by means of the adverbials a vicenda, reciprocamente 'reciprocally' and by phrases such as l'un l'altro 'each other', which disambiguate the reflexive from the reciprocal interpretations (Cennamo 2011c and references therein).
