Abstract

This article analyses the constructions with clitic se used as a impersonal resource in scientific articles. According to the Systemic-functional perspective, the constructions found were analyzed, describing based on the context use. The constructions were obtained by the use of a computer program that can be used with a large number of texts. The analysis shows that se occurs in three categories: in middle constructions (self-caused process); in constructions that defocus participants, and in agnate constructions.
