The evolution of reflexive verbs in Italian
Karabcová, Natálie ; Štichauer, Pavel (advisor) ; Obstová, Zora (referee)
(in English) This paper investigates the evolution of auxiliary verb selection in Italian reflexive verbs in the compound tenses based on data obtained from the CODIT diachronic corpus of Italian. In contrast to modern Italian, where only the auxiliary verb essere is obligatory with all types of reflexive verbs, in previous developmental phases, especially with indirect reflexive verbs, the auxiliary verb avere was possible. The theoretical part of the thesis describes the different types of reflexives, while the practical part deals with research on the choice of auxiliary verbs from the earliest times to the present.
