What are the phrases "each other" and "one another" called. I know that both phrases are the English reciprocal pronouns, but what is the term for the phrases themselves. Do they qualify as noun phrases?

@miss questions,
Some geek says that reciprocal pronouns are "pronoun phrases". This seems technically correct to me as they're both phrases by definition and they're also both pronouns.

@miss questions,

I would like to know the answer to that. A bit.

Since they refer to a noun (being pronouns) then they may be noun phrases.
