from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A state reflexive ( lat. Reflexum "bent back") is a copula clause with middle words of some reflexive verbs as a predicative . Formally, the reflexive state and passive state are the same .

Regarding the other player (actant), there is a difference between reflexive and passive state. In the state reflexive, the actant of the subject is the same as the actant of the corresponding reflexive construction . In the passive state, on the other hand, the actants of subject and object are swapped.
