Alternation ‘Impersonal of Reflexives’ (Coded)

The corresponding impersonal form of (direct/indirect/reciprocal/middle/inherent) reflexives, with defocusing of the A/S argument, surfacing as ci, the 1st person plural clitic pronoun replacing impersonal si, whereby one finds the [ci si V] pattern instead of the sequence [si si V] (Cennamo 2010, 2011c). Ci marks an indefinite human participant, with variable interpretation (generic or existential/indefinite, optionally comprising the Speech Act Participants, as in the first person plural, inclusive interpretation), according to the temporal reference of the clause and the aspectual nature of the predicate.
