Abstract
Lee, Soo-jae. “A Diachronic Study on Modern English Passive Constructions: Two Conflicting Predictions about Syntactic Change and Their Implications.” Studies on English Language & Literature. 32.3(2006): 277-300. This study investigates the origin and development of the English passive construction, especially focusing on a comparison of the grammatical theories for explaining syntactic change. Two views on the modern passive construction study have been introduced, i.e., lexical and transformational. Throughout the discussions on two conflicting predictions about the evolution of the passive constructions, we realize that both Lightfoot’s diachronic argument for the synchronic theory of grammar and Bennett’s diachronic argument for relational grammar are not satisfactory because the only way of explaining language change depends on their theoretical frameworks. A language is not uniform, and a variety of factors involving language change cannot be explained by the simple syntactic rules. (Kunsan College of Nursing)
