520 8  This book offers an original treatment of the Italian 
       clitic si. Sharply separating encoded grammar from 
       inference in discourse, it proposes a unitary meaning for 
       si, including impersonals, passives, and reflexives. Si 
       signals third-person participancy but makes no 
       distinctions of number, gender, or case role. The analysis
       advances the Columbia School framework by relying on just 
       these straightforward oppositions, attributing variety of 
       interpretation largely to language use rather than to 
       grammar. The analysis places si within a network of 
       oppositions involving all the other clitics. Data come 
       primarily from twentieth-century and more recent published
       and on-line literature. The book will be of interest to 
       functional linguists, students of reflexivity, and 
       scholars of the Italian language.
