Abstract
This paper argues that a specific (sub-)class of de se readings found in certain Control structures and in a well-defined set of lexical reflexives provides the key for the understanding of some long-debated and presently still poorly understood properties of Control. We show that the phenomenon known in the philosophical liter- ature as ‘immunity to error through misidentification’ o↵ers an important window on the nature of Control and on its core interpretive properties, including the distinction between Exhaustive and Partial Control
