itself

In general linguistics, a reflexive pronoun, sometimes simply called a reflexive, is an anaphoric pronoun that must be coreferential with another nominal (its antecedent) within the same clause.
In the English language specifically, a reflexive pronoun will end in -self or -selves, and refer to a previously named noun or pronoun (myself, yourself, ourselves, themselves, etc.). English intensive pronouns, used for emphasis, take the same form.
In generative grammar, a reflexive pronoun is an anaphor that must be bound by its antecedent (see binding). In a general sense, it is a noun phrase that obligatorily gets its meaning from another noun phrase in the sentence. Different languages have different binding domains for reflexive pronouns, according to their structure.

    Warnflow Oil Central Heating Condenser Boiler turning itself on

    Hi, The boiler is coming on when the timer clock is set to off. Because the timer clock is off no motorised valves open and so no heat gets around the house but the radiator nearest the boiler gets hot, (obviously not controlled by the valves). Why would this happen? The control box was...
