This article investigates diachronic aspects of the morphosyntax of anticausatives in some early Italo-Romance varieties, in relation to the distribution of the different strategies available to mark anticausativization, the active intransitive and the reflexive morpheme SE. It is shown that the structural and lexical aspects of the verb meaning affect the use of the different patterns, interacting with the encoding of voice in the transition from Latin to Romance.

Abstract
This article investigates diachronic aspects of the morphosyntax of anticausatives in some early Italo-Romance varieties, in relation to the distribution of the different strategies available to mark anticausativization, the active intransitive and the reflexive morpheme SE. It is shown that the structural and lexical aspects of the verb meaning affect the use of the different patterns, interacting with the encoding of voice in the transition from Latin to Romance.File in questo prodotto:
