A pronoun ending in self and emphasizing the previously used noun or by immediate repetition is?

The pronoun ending in "-self" and emphasizing the previously used noun or by immediate repetition is called a reflexive pronoun.

Examples:

* He hurt himself. (emphasizing "he")

* The dog licked itself. (emphasizing "the dog")

* The children played themselves silly. (emphasizing "children")

Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject of a verb is also the object of the verb, meaning the action is directed back to the subject. They are also used for emphasis, as in the examples above.
