The purposes of the paper is to present Dixon’s notion of a connection between the auxiliary-like get in the passive and the causative-get and check the hypothesis, that is, if the auxiliary-like get is derived from the causative-get, it should be different from the be-passive in terms of register distributions or the frequence of the past particle. A corpus of 100 million words constructed out of the British National Corpus (BNC) were searched for the functions and differences of the two get constructions. The results show there are some differences between the be- and the get-passive by examining frequency breakdown result and similarities between the get-passive and the causative get constructions. The results also indicate the frequency breakdown result of the be-passive has not been restricted to the spoken texts.
Abstract
The purposes of the paper is to present Dixon’s notion of a connection between the auxiliary-like get in the passive and the causative-get and check the hypothesis, that is, if the auxiliary-like get is derived from the causative-get, it should be different from the be-passive in terms of register distributions or the frequence of the past particle. A corpus of 100 million words constructed out of the British National Corpus (BNC) were searched for the functions and differences of the two get constructions. The results show there are some differences between the be- and the get-passive by examining frequency breakdown result and similarities between the get-passive and the causative get constructions. The results also indicate the frequency breakdown result of the be-passive has not been restricted to the spoken texts.
