摘要：This paper studies the properties of a previously unnoticed passive
construction found in some varieties of present day Spanish. Such construction, which
we refer to as double passive (following NGRALE 2009), contains two adjacent passive
complexes (Ese producto fue empezado a ser usado como conservante, Eng. That product
was started to being used as a preservative), but only one of them is interpretable as a bona
fide passive. We discuss the properties of this structure, suggesting that the passive (i.e.,
participial) morphology of the aspectual predicate (i.e., fue empezado) is uninterpretable, and
obtained through a mechanism of agreement at a distance (Chomsky’s 2000, 2001 Agree).
