Ways of expressing agents and agent typology in reflexive passive constructions.

The paper presents the results of the syntactic-semantic analysis of prepositional-case structures for expressing agents in reflexive passive structures, as recorded in various functional styles in the language of writers before the age of Vuk Karadžić (from 1802 to 1855), and compared to the standard Serbian language. The examples are classified according to the semantic type of the agent of the structures. Ways of expressing the agent in the material analyzed are somewhat different from those in standard Serbian.
