Abstract
This thesis analyses reciprocal meanings in various languages and the means of expressing them. First of all, the differences between grammatical and lexical reciprocity and the way in which causative reciprocity expresses relations of interaction, causation and result are considered. The article analyses various forms of causative reciprocity, including instrumentally mediated and addressive causative reciprocity, their semantic and pragmatic aspects, as well as the role of grammatical and lexical means. Emphasising the importance of studying these language phenomena in linguistics, the author proposes a methodological approach that helps to gain a deeper understanding of the complex relations of language. Through examples, the semantic and syntactic features of causative reciprocity are shown and the social and communicative functions of language are highlighted.
