Reflexive Passive C
Description
The use of the 3sg./pl. reflexive pronoun si to mark a P-oriented pattern where the original P of a corresponding transitive verb occurs as subject and A is deleted, only marginally surfacing as a prepositional phrase headed by da parte di ('on the part of'). In its canonical realizations, in the unmarked word order [N si V] the S(ubject) occurs in the preverbal position, it is definite, referential and conveys given information (Cennamo 1995: 85-86). In compound tenses the auxiliary selected is always BE essere, in all reflexive patterns.
