"in and of Xself" #137

Open nschneid opened 3 years ago

nschneid commented 3 years ago

Interesting idiom that starts with a preposition and contains a reflexive pronoun (itself, themselves).

Seems to act as an adverb rather than a normal PP.

Feels kind of metalinguistic, cf. "per se"

Could this be a focus construction?
