This is the first book-length history of the English passive voice.
It deals with clear identification of passive-related
constructions. It provides comprehensive analysis of the
grammatical voice system. It presents radical review of origins of
the be- and get-passive.In this coherent historical development of
the passive voice in English, the main argument deals not only with
the passive per se, but also with its related constructions, which
can play vital parts in identifying both functional and structural
motivations for creating the passive.
