This article discusses some aspects of the reorganization of voice distinctions in the transition from Latin to Romance, namely the grammaticalization of activity (DO / MAKE) and change of state (BECOME) verbs as markers of the passive voice, and the reanalysis of the reflexive morpheme SE as a voice modulator, focussing on patterns of invariance (i.e., persistence), of Latin inheritance and principled differences (i.e., divergence) in the type and extent of variation and further developments in this area of Romance morphosyntax.

Abstract
This article discusses some aspects of the reorganization of voice distinctions in the transition from Latin to Romance, namely the grammaticalization of activity (DO / MAKE) and change of state (BECOME) verbs as markers of the passive voice, and the reanalysis of the reflexive morpheme SE as a voice modulator, focussing on patterns of invariance (i.e., persistence), of Latin inheritance and principled differences (i.e., divergence) in the type and extent of variation and further developments in this area of Romance morphosyntax.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
