PASIVNE KONSTRUKCIJE U ROMANU O TROJI

This paper deals with passive constructions in the Old Serbian translation of The Romance of Troy. Following a thorough theoretical introduction and conceptualization of the passive voice, we will begin our empirical analysis by exploring the morphosyntactic features of participial and reflexive passives. We will examine the roles these passive constructions play in the text’s informational structure and the reasons for using the passive voice instead of the active voice. We will present our findings and highlight the unique characteristics of both passive types, supplemented by a brief comparative-historical overview of Slavic languages.
