      abstract = {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?},
