iak 'I am not going.' However, unlike these two sentences,
the use of reflexive pronouns in the complements is not a
free choice; it is governed by a rule. In that position, and
in that type of structure, only a reflexive pronoun can be
used.5
The use of a pronoun with di as in (76b), (77b), and
(80c) is due to a different reason. As discussed in (4.2),
when an omitted subject needs to be used with di for focus
or other syntactical reasons that require the use of di
(3.4), the subject has to be used, and it should be used in
its full form, either an NP or a pronoun. Here in the
complements, the use of di is for focus; so, the subject has
to be used in its full form, and in that position it has to
be replaced by a pronoun.
Reflexive pronouns are also used in three other kinds
of complements which are discussed below.
