This paper attempts to adopt a unified approach to the diverse semantic properties of the get-passive. The get-passive, as opposed to the similar be-passive, possesses the following semantic properties: (i) it is used only with dynamic verbs, and not with stative verbs; (ii) it is used when a situation occurs in a sentence due to the subject’s certain intentional causal action or when the subject is responsible for the situation; (iii) it is used when the subject feels that the situation is good or bad, or when the situation is well or badly reflected in the subject; (iv) it is used with a human or animate subject. Singling out those properties of the get-passive, this paper proposes the following unified approach: The get-passive is a kind of linguistic expression that describes an event related to a patient, while simultaneously emphasizing the patient.
Abstract
This paper attempts to adopt a unified approach to the diverse semantic properties of the get-passive. The get-passive, as opposed to the similar be-passive, possesses the following semantic properties: (i) it is used only with dynamic verbs, and not with stative verbs; (ii) it is used when a situation occurs in a sentence due to the subject’s certain intentional causal action or when the subject is responsible for the situation; (iii) it is used when the subject feels that the situation is good or bad, or when the situation is well or badly reflected in the subject; (iv) it is used with a human or animate subject. Singling out those properties of the get-passive, this paper proposes the following unified approach: The get-passive is a kind of linguistic expression that describes an event related to a patient, while simultaneously emphasizing the patient.
