expl:pass: reflexive pronoun used in reflexive passive

Reflexive pronouns (see the feature Reflex) are used in various constructions in Czech, including so-called reflexive passive. In PDT, their relation to the verb is labeled AuxR. The corresponding label in Czech UD is called expl:pass (since UD 2.0; in previous versions it was labeled auxpass:reflex).

In the following Czech example, archeologická výstava “archaeological exhibition” has switched to the nominative, it became the subject and thus we are dealing with the reflexive passive and not with an impersonal construction (expl:impers).

[cs] Rovněž se připravuje archeologická výstava. “An archaeological exhibition is also being prepared.”

Compare the Czech example with Polish where wystawę archeologiczną “archaeological exhibition” is in the accusative case, hence it is still the object and not a subject, hence it is a reflexive impersonal construction and not a reflexive passive.
