D'Alessandro presents this monograph on sentences in Italian in which the subject is not clearly identified. Such impersonal si constructions come into play when speakers wish to keep the subject vague or do not wish to specify the subject of the action. She gives background information on why this construction is important, then analyzes agreement patterns of transitive ICSs, the person restriction in transitive ICSs, the inclusive interpretation of impersonal si and past participle agreement in ICSs. This will be most interesting to specialists and higher-level graduate students in linguistics or Italian, Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
