Resumen de La grammaticalizzazione di "venire + participio" in italiano: anticausativo o risultativo?
Unlike recent proposals positing an anticausative intermediate stage in the grammaticalization path of the Italian venire-passive, in this article diachronic data will be presented suggesting a different evolution, in which resultativity plays a major role. Supporting evidence will be found in the aspectual restrictions of the venire-passive in modern Italian, while Rhaetoromance (ve)gnir-passive and Iberoromance "venir + participle" predicative construcions provide further comparative data.
