Summary/Abstract: This article is dedicated to the study of Turkic morphologically complex reflexive kendisi. Based on the new data, we review the existing approaches to explaining the behaviour of kendisi and propose our own analysis. We suggest including this anaphoric means into the class of pronominals and explaining its behaviour by Principle B of the Binding Theory.
