A large-scale diachronic analysis of the English passive alternation

We present the first large-scale, multivariate study analysing the de-velopment of the passive alternation in 19th- and 20th-century American En-glish. Based on 2,318,251 tokens of the BE- and the GET-passive, extracted fromthe Corpus of Historical American English, we explore the strength and stabi...

520 |a We present the first large-scale, multivariate study analysing the de-velopment of the passive alternation in 19th- and 20th-century American En-glish. Based on 2,318,251 tokens of the BE- and the GET-passive, extracted fromthe Corpus of Historical American English, we explore the strength and stabilityof several reported constraints on the GET-passive, such as informality, subjectresponsibility, adversativity, and non-neutrality. Additionally, our analysis in-cludes a range of syntactic predictors. The results indicate a persistent associa-tion of the GET-passive with informal contexts, but weakening of most otherconstraints. A particularly strong effect size is observed for the semantic groupof the passivized verb, developed by clustering over a word-vector representa-tion of all verbs. This finding indicates strong lexical-semantic conditioning ofthe passive alternation. We discuss several challenges in the big-data approachwe use and develop a sketch of future research in this direction.
