[Lingtyp] PASSIVE AND TENSE

[Martin Haspelmath]

A closely related claim, namely that passive is associated with perfect, 
has been made by Comrie (1981), with a semantic explanation. I took this 
up in Haspelmath (1994), with some limited statistical evidence. There 
may well be subsequent work, but I have not followed voice typology 
closely in the last two decades.

Best,
Martin
