Abstract
This article provides an overview of Spanish SE, covering the main empirical facts, analyses and theoretical issues that it raises, and exploring the prospects to unify all uses –which are over a dozen in the literature– under one same object that keeps its surface properties invariable. We will show that it is almost inescapable to propose that SE is associated to two types of objects, defective arguments and defective verbal heads; both objects share the property of not introducing referentially independent DPs, which can be argued to be the result of the grammaticalisation of a reflexive element in contemporary Spanish. The chapter proposes that a treatment of SE as a projection introduced high in the clausal structure and acting as an agreement locus can be a fruitful way to unify all uses of SE.

Este artículo proporciona una visión general del SE en español, cubriendo los principales hechos empíricos, análisis y cuestiones téoricas que produce, y explorando la posibilidad de unificar todos los usos de SE –que son más de una docena en la bibliografía– bajo un solo elemento que mantenga propiedades superficiales invariables. Mostraremos que es casi inevitable proponer que SE se asocia a dos objetos de distinto tipo: argumentos defectivos ny núcleos verbales defectivos, donde la defectividad se refiere a que ninguno de esos objetos introduce SD referenciales, algo que puede entenderse como el resultado de la gramaticalización del reflexivo latino en español actual. El capítulo propone que un análisis del SE como una proyección introducida en una posición alta de la estructura oracional y que funciona como un núcleo de concordancia puede ser un modo de unificar todos los usos de SE.
