The main guideline of the linguistic inquiry regarding different aspects of the syntax of nominal phrases is the assumption that there exists a similarity between nouns and verbs, or more precisely, between NPs/DPs and VPs/CPs. In this paper I make an attempt to draw another possible analogy between the nominal and the verbal domain. Namely, assuming Reinhart's and Siloni's (2004) Lexicon - Syntax Parameter, I examine Czech reflexive nouns and try to argue that they are not derived "directly" from their verbal counterparts, as is commonly assumed. Instead it appears that the derivation of these nouns proceeds via some other derivational path, which is independent of the derivation of their verbal counterparts, but completely parallel to various derivational processes that apply in the verbal domain.
