Abstract

Analyses about the topic of reflexivity in Spanish (and other romanic languages) have some special characteristics that are related to the role that the form 'se' plays in Spanish reflexive constructions, in contrast to other linguistic systems. There are pronominal and referential analyses (generally the traditional ones) and interpretations upholding that 'se' is a morphem of intransitivization of verbal affix. In this context, we postulate that unaccusative hypothesis contributes a methodological criterium which deals with morphological, syntactic and semantic aspects; this idea allows a coherent interpretation about reflexivity. The prototypical exemple of the verb 'romper' and its points of relation with similar verbs like 'quemar, mojar, secar', that permit the unaccusative construction concept to be extended, is analyzed.
