• The world must construe according to its wits; this court must construe according to the law.
• Robert Bolt, A Man for All Seasons, 1954
• Thus, in a sentence such as: (113)      John considers [S Fred to be too sure of himself] the italicised Reflexive himself can only be construed with Fred, not with John: this follows from our assumption that non-subject Reflexives must have an antecedent within their own S. Notice, however, that in a sentence such as: (114)      John seems to me [S — to have perjured himself] himself must be construed with John.
