[Corpora-List] active/passive sentences

[Matías Guzmán]

Dear Alex,

In what language? English? I don't think there is any program that
specifically does this, but is rather easy to program. First, segment the
sentences. Do POS tagging. Look for sentences with the passive pattern in
them, for example [be] FINITIVE + PARTICIPLE VERB, [modal] FINITIVE + be +
PARTICIPLE VERB, etc.

Best,

Matías
