Intransitive or Impersonal Reflexive verb



intransitive forma (also known impersonal reflexive or mediopassive ) take intransitive verbs omitted agent. in slavic languages, practically condition can construed having human agent. applied human agent can generic, or loosely specified collective or individual. grammatical subject either omitted (in pro-drop languages) or dummy pronoun (otherwise). thus, verbs defective, have 3rd person singular (masculine or neutrum, depending on language) form.



in many cases, there semantic overlap between impersonal/anticausative/autocausative constructs , passive voice (also present in romance , slavic languages). on 1 hand, impersonal reflexive constructs have wider scope of application, not limited transitive verbs canonical passive voice. on other hand, constructs can have slight semantic difference or markedness.
