초록
Throughout the history of the English language, the diachronic change of the get passive shows cyclicity of the English language. In Old English, the functional roles of passives are divided into the two auxiliary verbs beon/wesan and weorÞan, formal/stative/intentional and informal/dynamic/unintentional, respectively. In Middle English, as a result of the lexical loss of the word weorÞan from the English language, the integration of the functional roles of beon/wesan and weorÞan into be(on) occurred. In Middle English be + PP takes the functions of both formal/stative/intentional and informal/dynamic/ unintentional. In Early Modern English the division of the functional roles appeared again or restoration to Old English occurred. The examination of the English Bible versions shows this diachronic change of the get passive with no example of the get passive in the Tyndale (1526) and King James Version (1611) and－only one in the Darby Bible Version (1890); moreover, only two examples are found in the Revised Standard Version (1952) and 29 examples in the Good News Translation Version (1976).
Abstract
Throughout the history of the English language, the diachronic change of the get passive shows cyclicity of the English language. In Old English, the functional roles of passives are divided into the two auxiliary verbs beon/wesan and weorÞan, formal/stative/intentional and informal/dynamic/unintentional, respectively. In Middle English, as a result of the lexical loss of the word weorÞan from the English language, the integration of the functional roles of beon/wesan and weorÞan into be(on) occurred. In Middle English be + PP takes the functions of both formal/stative/intentional and informal/dynamic/ unintentional. In Early Modern English the division of the functional roles appeared again or restoration to Old English occurred. The examination of the English Bible versions shows this diachronic change of the get passive with no example of the get passive in the Tyndale (1526) and King James Version (1611) and－only one in the Darby Bible Version (1890); moreover, only two examples are found in the Revised Standard Version (1952) and 29 examples in the Good News Translation Version (1976).
