On the Use of "Por" Plus Agent with "Se" Construction
De Mello, George
Hispania, 61, 2, 323-27, May 78
Two explanations for the role of "se" in such constructions as "Se construyen casas" are given by grammarians; one states that it is a passive interpretation ("Houses are built"), the other advocates an impersonal interpretation ("One builds houses"). Different views are presented and analyzed. (Author/NCR)
