[Lingtyp] COME-passives

[Paolo Ramat]

In Bavarian German you may say
(1) *Då kummt de nei(e) Schul gebaut*
“Hier wird die neue Schule gebaut”,
probably a loan from Ital.  *Qui viene costruita la nuova scuola*, or from
Rhaeto-Romance *Co^ vein fabricheda la scuola nuova*
See Ramat in "Lg Sciences" 20 (3) , 1998: 227ff.  (with reference to
Mayerthaler & Mayerthaler 1990).

Best,
Paolo Ramat
