TL;DR: A traves de una serie de simples explicaciones y la exposicion y resolucion of diversas hipotesis, se intenta hacer un estudio omnicomprensivo de los usos de se, en lugar de profundizar solamente en uno as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: La gramatica descriptiva nos permite entrar en un analisis detallado y en un proceso de resolucion de hipotesis de una manera didactica, sin ser excesivamente exhaustivo. Es el enfoque usado en el presente trabajo para el analisis de la particula se, la cual resuelve una gran cantidad de situaciones comunicativas muy tipicas de la lengua castellana, como la impersonalidad, la suavizacion de la responsabilidad del agente, la descripcion de procesos internos y/o espontaneos, aparte de otros usos mas faciles de identificar, como los verbos reflexivos, los verbos de accion reciproca y la voz pasiva refleja. En multitud de ocasiones, es dificil clasificar e identificar estos usos, sobre todo cuando caen en mas de uno. A traves de una serie de simples explicaciones y la exposicion y resolucion de diversas hipotesis, se intenta hacer un estudio omnicomprensivo de los usos de se, en lugar de profundizar solamente en uno.
