| Authors | |
| Abstract | Some active English sentences can express passive implicature and they have no passive counterparts. In what cases can’t they convert into passive voice (or have no passive counterparts)? The paper will make a study on the problem from four various cases of active sentences without passive counterparts. By analyzing the four cases, the author draws a conclusion that the variety in English voice shows the tendency of the linguistic phenomenon of active voice taking the place of passivisation. |
