[Corpora-List] active/passive sentences

[Kevin B. Cohen]

Alex,

I have some Perl scripts that do a reasonable job of this.  One thing
that they don't catch is conjoined passives, like "was phosphorylated
and activated".  Would this be an acceptable weakness?  Reviewers have
accepted it for a couple of journal articles that I've used the script
for.
