itself

In general linguistics, a reflexive pronoun, sometimes simply called a reflexive, is an anaphoric pronoun that must be coreferential with another nominal (its antecedent) within the same clause.
In the English language specifically, a reflexive pronoun will end in -self or -selves, and refer to a previously named noun or pronoun (myself, yourself, ourselves, themselves, etc.). English intensive pronouns, used for emphasis, take the same form.
In generative grammar, a reflexive pronoun is an anaphor that must be bound by its antecedent (see binding). In a general sense, it is a noun phrase that obligatorily gets its meaning from another noun phrase in the sentence. Different languages have different binding domains for reflexive pronouns, according to their structure.

    Is it the actuator or the valve body itself??

    Hi, When replacing a 3 port diverter valve. Is there a sure way to tell whether just the actuator needs replacing or if whole valve needs replacing? As i am not sure what to buy. The diverter that needs replacing is a Danfoss HS3. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Casey

    What do I need to know about unvented systems?

    If doing work on services supplied by one? Changing taps and so forth. I understand you can isolate hot and cold same as with a normal vented system but do I need to do anything afterwards? Re-pressurise or something? Or does it sort itself? Thanks

    Worcester Boiler Shut Itself Down

    Hi I've got a Worcester Bosch 350 Combi boiler which just seems to have shut itself down tonight as if it has no power at all. When I checked it the pressure was pretty low so I topped it up. I'm assuming it shut down due to low pressure but the boiler won't come back on now. It's done...
