A unified semantics of Chinese adverbial  ziji  ‘self’ is proposed for its three exclusive readings. In the proposal, adverbial  ziji  is a focused item, evoking alternatives for consideration by its focus semantic value. Depending on domain variation and different syntactic adjoining positions,  ziji  shows various surface readings, though the availability of readings is affected by context, world knowledge, and a relation presupposition triggered by  ziji . The proposed mechanism suggests the following. First, CauseP for internal causation cannot be introduced by  ziji , but is projected more prevalently than commonly assumed. Second, CauseP should be projected in anticausatives. If this analysis is on the right track, it will give us a new perspective of intensifiers and the projection of CauseP, and it will also help us advance the study of anticausatives.
