Abstract

Applying roundabout" ways of analyzing functional and/or formal interaction with other constructions, this paper tries to show an effective approach toward functional perspectivc o Russian passive. For this purpose Russian passive is discussed in relatio to middle (including reflexive), perfect, indefinite-personal and impersona: constructions. Results of the study can be summed up as follows: 1. Passive in Standard Russian is marked, in the sense that it removes transitivity through thc device of non-subject assignment to Agent and subject assignment to Pa ti ent. 2. Thc -sja passive" overlapps in form with middle/reflexive. Between the two extremes of passive and reflexive there exist various peripheral" constructions with varying degrees of passivity. 1n order to avoid ambiguity, vocabulary.
