In this paper, we will intend to demonstrate that some constructions consisting of estar and a past participle are stative passives in between a periphrastic voice construction and an attributive sentence. With this end, we will revise which clauses with estar+participle present the semantic and syntactic properties normally associated with the periphrastic passive. In particular, we will see that just a small group of these clauses may be considered real passives, whereas most of them seem to behave either as a resultative construction or as a locative inversion. Once we have established which clauses with estar are passive, we will describe their aspectual properties in opposition to the passive with ser.
