This book makes a novel contribution to our understanding of
Romance SE constructions by combining both diachronic and
synchronic theoretical perspectives along with a range of empirical
data from different languages and dialects. The collection, divided
into four sections, proposes that SE constructions may be divided
into one class that is the result of grammaticalization of a
reflexive pronoun up the syntactic tree, from Voice and above, and
another class that has resulted from the reanalysis of reflexive
and anticausative morphemes as an argument expletive or verbal
morpheme generated in positions from Voice and below. The
contributions, while varied in both empirical content and
theoretical approach, all serve to highlight different aspects of
the overarching idea that SE constructions have evolved from these
two distinct grammaticalization paths. The book appeals to
researchers and academics in the field and closes with a unified
approach to various SE constructions that makes important use of
its status as a verbal morpheme. In addition to aligning a novel
string of empirical contributions under a new theoretical umbrella,
a clear research direction emerges from this volume based on the
morphosyntactic nature of SE itself: Is it a clitic, an agreement
morpheme, or a verbal morpheme?
