anybodyをtheirで受けている。いわゆる“singular their”です。
Singular “their” etc., was an accepted part of the English language before the
18th-century grammarians started making arbitrary judgments as to what is “good
English” and “bad English”, based on a kind of pseudo-“logic” deduced from the
Latin language, that has nothing whatever to do with English.
I have chosen to use this term, even though it may be slightly misleading (since
and so-called “singular” they still takes plural verb agreement). However, this
terminology does describe, in a rough-and-ready way, the basic phenomenon
(i.e. the pronouns they/them/their referring back to a syntactically singular
antecedent, such as anyone). The term “singular their” is to be preferred over
only since the pronouns they/them/their are already inherently and fundamentally
“epicene” or “common-gender” in their normal plural usage, but also because
these terms tend to convey the false and misleading impression that singular their etc. is only used in cases that refer to uncertain gender, or to both genders
simultaneously.
