Book Synopsis Diachronic Change in the English Passive by : J. Toyota
Book excerpt: In this coherent historical development of the passive voice in English, the main argument deals not only with the passive per se, but also with its related constructions, which can play vital parts in identifying both functional and structural motivations for creating the passive.
