Abstract
The paper examines the devices that the Akan language uses to express anaphoric relations, especially, such notions as ‘X acts on X’ (reflexive), ‘Y acts on X and X acts on Y’ (reciprocal) and other relationships involving nominals in particular local domains that result in construing them as having the same referent.
