Missing [HUMAN] objects: active and SE morphology investigated

In this paper, two constructions which have been described in the literature as involving missing/null objects denoting indeterminate humans will be compared with respect to their morphosyntactic and interpretational properties. The discussion will focus on Polish and will show that the relevant similarities and differences between the two constructions can be derived on the assumption that the interpretation of the internal theta role is partially achieved by different means in the two contexts and that there are differences between the constructions as far as the composition of the extended verbal projection is considered.
