초록
This paper aims to address the English prepositional passive from the perspective of cognitive grammar and argues that it resembles the prototype passive in several aspects, but syntactically and semantically it still deviates from the prototype. In the prepositional passive, the N/P2 places more constraints on affectedness, role prominence, or characterization, and the verb and the preposition function as an organic whole. In terms of transitivity and passivizability, the prepositional verb clause cannot be confined to objective analysis. Instead, the subjective construal of actual world can play a part. (i) Prepositions that describe a terminative path are more likely to be passivized than those describing an initiative path. (ii) The passivizibility of the preposition verb clause cannot be determined solely by the verbs and preposition but should be combined with the nominals, sometimes influenced by the selection of participants or setting, and the animacy and discreteness of the nominals.
Abstract
This paper aims to address the English prepositional passive from the perspective of cognitive grammar and argues that it resembles the prototype passive in several aspects, but syntactically and semantically it still deviates from the prototype. In the prepositional passive, the N/P2 places more constraints on affectedness, role prominence, or characterization, and the verb and the preposition function as an organic whole. In terms of transitivity and passivizability, the prepositional verb clause cannot be confined to objective analysis. Instead, the subjective construal of actual world can play a part. (i) Prepositions that describe a terminative path are more likely to be passivized than those describing an initiative path. (ii) The passivizibility of the preposition verb clause cannot be determined solely by the verbs and preposition but should be combined with the nominals, sometimes influenced by the selection of participants or setting, and the animacy and discreteness of the nominals.
