A counterpart of these constructions without the clitic \u2013 the null <jats:italic>se<\/jats:italic> construction \u2013 is also attested. Based on an extensive usage-feature and profile-based analysis, and using multivariate statistical methods, we analyze, considering Cognitive Grammar, the conceptual, structural, and lectal factors that determine the choice between overt and null <jats:italic>se<\/jats:italic> constructions. The results of the study show that the null constructions are far more frequent in Brazilian (BP) than in European Portuguese (EP). In BP, the focus on the moment of change is a crucial factor for the overt\/null variation in reflexive\/reciprocal, middle, anticausative, and impersonal constructions. If the moment of the change of state is profiled, the overt <jats:italic>se<\/jats:italic> construction is usually produced. If the moment of change is not profiled, the null <jats:italic>se<\/jats:italic> construction is preferred. External factors also play a role in the variation. Register is an important predictor for the observed variation of the anticausative construction, and the only predictor for the overt\/null variation in the case of the passive construction. In EP, the null <jats:italic>se<\/jats:italic> variant is mainly limited to anticausative constructions. In all cases of null constructions, there is a shift to an absolute construal, which has an impact on the way that the transitivity continuum is conceptualized.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/cog-2019-0037","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,13]],"date-time":"2021-02-13T00:46:03Z","timestamp":1613177163000},"page":"159-193","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Null <i>se<\/i> constructions in Brazilian and European Portuguese: Morphosyntactic deletion or emergence of new constructions?"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"32","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7951-5194","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Augusto","family":"Soares da Silva","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Philosophical and Humanistic Studies , Universidade Cat\u00f3lica Portuguesa , 4710-297 Braga , Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8902-1451","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Susana","family":"Afonso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Modern Languages and Cultures , University of Exeter , Exeter , UK"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6155-1488","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dafne","family":"Pal\u00fa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Cat\u00f3lica Portuguesa , Braga , Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6499-265X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Karlien","family":"Franco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"QLVL, Department of Linguistics , KU Leuven , Leuven , Belgium"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023071112121831839_j_cog-2019-0037_ref_001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Afonso, Susana. 2008.
