Subject: Re: [Lingtyp] PASSIVE AND TENSE

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

  Dear colleagues,

  Are you aware of discussions regarding temporal anchoring of Passive: has it been claimed that Passive is easier associated with Past than Future? I.e., that Passive is statistically more common in Past than in Future (and perhaps Present). If yes, are there explanations of this?
