- (grammar) Of a verb: requiring the use of a reflexive construction when no reflexive action is actually taking place.

- Another strategy when the object is not human, used less than in Italian or Spanish but nevertheless not uncommon, is the pseudo-reflexive structure, that is, the use of the active forms of a verb reflexive in appearance in a 'passive' sense (les fleurs se vendent ici le dimanche lit. 'flowers sell themselves . . .' i.e. 'flowers are sold here on Sundays').
- (mathematics) Inducing a topological isomorphism between the domain and its image.

- In the next two theorems we will assume E pseudoreflexive. This is not a big restriction since every Banach space over a spherically complete nonarchimedean field is pseudoreflexive.
