This article attempts to examine the passive auxiliaries in modern Italian and how they are presented to the Italian language learners. A growing body of research has been throwing light on the fact that the passive auxiliaries are not only the canonical essere and venire, but also andare, which is open to a twofold interpretation («modal passive» and «loss passive»), as well as rimanere, restare, trovarsi, vedersi and finire. In view of this, the analysis of syllabi of Italian L2 and of Italian grammar books has been carried out. The analysis of seven syllabi has confirmed the tendency to introduce the passive voice at B2 level. As far as auxiliaries are concerned, the syllabi refer explicitly to five: essere, venire, andare, restare andrimanere. The second analysis, carried out on sixteen grammar textbooks for Italian language learning, has shown some weakness regarding the teaching of passive auxiliaries, such as a) lack of any semantic differentiation between use of essere and venire; b) a certain selectivity in presenting aspects of the remainder of auxiliaries (andare, rimanere, vedersi, trovarsi and finire are rarely presented in their entirety); c) various theoretical disagreements in the presentation of the rules that guide the use of passive auxiliaries.

Il presente articolo si propone di esaminare come le grammatiche della lingua italiana trattano la morfologia del participio presente (PP) con particolare riguardo alle forme verbali del terzo paradigma flessivo che prendono la desinenza -iente (p. es. conveniente) o che alternano le desinenze -iente e -ente (p. es. dormiente/dormente). In totale sono state analizzate più di 60 grammatiche divise in tre categorie: 1) volumi pubblicati tra il Cinque e l’Ottocento: è uno sguardo diacronico sulla questione del PP; 2) volumi pubblicati nei secoli XX e XXI; 3) grammatiche didattiche per stranieri. Dall’analisi risulta che gli autori dei testi grammaticali presi in esame dimostrano poco interesse alla morfologia del PP, soprattutto riguardo alle forme uscenti in -iente/ente, interesse che sembra diminuire addirittura nel corso dei secoli per dare spazio alle questioni relative alla funzione del PP. Le grammatiche didattiche per stranieri sono ancora meno attente, spesso trascurando completamente la questione del PP o fornendo informazioni sommarie e non complete.

This article aims to examine how Italian-language grammar books deal with the morphology of the participio presente (PP), with particular attention to verb forms of the third inflexional paradigm ending in -iente (e.g., conveniente) or that alternate the endings -iente and -ente (e.g., dormiente/dormente). In total, more than 60 grammar books were analysed and divided into three categories: 1) volumes published between the 16th and 19th centuries (it is a diachronic perspective on the issue of the PP); 2) volumes published in the 20th and 21st centuries; 3) grammar books for foreign language learners. The analyses reveal that the authors of the grammar books taken into consideration demonstrate little interest in the morphology of the PP, especially regarding the forms ending in -iente/-ente, which are less prominent over the centuries to give space to issues related to the function of the PP. Grammar books for foreigners are even less attentive, often completely neglecting the PP or providing a summary and incomplete information.
