Slavic impersonal constructions

[Oscar E Swan]

One needs to define what one means by 'impersonal'. Does this
mean sentences with logically personal subjects which remain unexpressed?
If so, I would be surprised if the two-part bibliography on -no-/-to-
constructions in JSL didn't have pretty much everything one might need.
A thought-provoking literary source of such impersonals in Polish is a
strange book by E.Stachura entitled "Sie", whose first sentence is,
as I recall, "Sie szlo".
