The thesis consists of two parts: theoretical and analytical. The aim of the theoretical part is to incorporate the existing knowledge about the Czech construction in question into the context of both the international literature on the issues of reflexivity or agent demotion and the theoretical linguistic literature in general. In Chapter II.2, I discuss some basic theoretical concepts (especially from the grammaticalization theory), showing how they can be applied to the area of Czech reflexivity and reflexive agent- demoting construction. In Chapter II.3, I deal with the issue of reflexivity: different approaches to the Czech reflexive marker se are compared and thereafter some comprehensive typological descriptions are summarized which allow us to demonstrate to what extent the situation in Czech corresponds to the functional distribution of reflexivity in a cross-linguistic perspective. Chapter II.4 addresses the question of agent demotion: different Czech constructions with the function of agent defocusing...
