This article is concerned with the frequency changes of the get-passive construction. The frequency change is examined through the Corpus of US Supreme Court Opinions, the TV Corpus, and the Movie Corpus. The results of the search are as follows. First, the frequency of the construction is so low that the analysis is impossible in the Corpus of US Court Opinions which has the most formal style. This means that the get-passive is under the stylistic constraint. Second, it is difficult to find the relationship between the be-passive and get-passive in regard to the frequency change. Third, the frequency change of the get-passive is stable rather than increasing in the TV Corpus and the Movie Corpus. That is, the argument that the get-passive is increasing is not ascertained in the corpus examination. Fourth, the frequency of the get-passive combined with a verb of neutral or positive connotation is about twice as many as with a verb of negative meaning. Thus the semantic constraint that the get-passive is used in negative context is lessening. It is also found that the get-passive prefers informal style and it is used with the limited number of verbs with dynamic meaning. Conclusively, the get-passive seems to be used independently from the be-passive, conveying the construction-specific meaning.
Abstract
This article is concerned with the frequency changes of the get-passive construction. The frequency change is examined through the Corpus of US Supreme Court Opinions, the TV Corpus, and the Movie Corpus. The results of the search are as follows. First, the frequency of the construction is so low that the analysis is impossible in the Corpus of US Court Opinions which has the most formal style. This means that the get-passive is under the stylistic constraint. Second, it is difficult to find the relationship between the be-passive and get-passive in regard to the frequency change. Third, the frequency change of the get-passive is stable rather than increasing in the TV Corpus and the Movie Corpus. That is, the argument that the get-passive is increasing is not ascertained in the corpus examination. Fourth, the frequency of the get-passive combined with a verb of neutral or positive connotation is about twice as many as with a verb of negative meaning. Thus the semantic constraint that the get-passive is used in negative context is lessening. It is also found that the get-passive prefers informal style and it is used with the limited number of verbs with dynamic meaning. Conclusively, the get-passive seems to be used independently from the be-passive, conveying the construction-specific meaning.
