Sohn, Joong-Sun. 2000. Passivity and Impersonality of the Romance Reflexive clause. Linguistics 8-1, 333-352, Romance reflexive clauses with agentive verbs are examined for their passivity and impersonality. This is done in terms of ability to occur with agent-licensing expressions and the word order. Generally, Romance reflexive clauses with agentive verbs are considered impersonal. The subject-initial clause may render a passive reading to a certain extent. However, it is still best accepted with indefinite, i.e., impersonal, agent implied. The passivity test performed in this work is expected to shed light on the definition of the reflexive-passive/impersonal, and further, on the functional evolution of the Romance reflexive.
