Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Rochester, 1995.

This thesis examines the passive construction in Mandarin Chinese, often referred to also as the bei-construction. While it is in general assumed that the properties of English-type of passives, including subject theta-role suppression, accusative Case absorption and morphological affix, hold true cross-linguistically, the result of this study of the passive in Chinese shows that this assumption is incorrect. The passives in Chinese should be classified into two main groups: those with the overt logical subject (the long passive) and those without (the short passive), based on the evidence of the locality, the licensing of the resumptive pronoun and the distribution of the resumptive clitic suo in the two types of passive in Chinese. Like English-type of passive, the short passive in Chinese is derived by A-movement, but the long passive is formed by a totally different strategy, namely utilizing the null operator as in the English Complement Object Deletion (COD) construction (involving adjectival predicates modified by the adverbial too), and thus exhibiting A$\sp\prime$-properties. In addition, the short passives in Chinese should be further divided into two types, depending on whether the passive morpheme bei forms a compound with the following verb or takes a VP. Finally, a typological comparison is done among the passive constructions in English, Chinese and Japanese. Each of these languages exhibits different sets of properties of passives, which can be traced back to the interaction of different principles involved. This result of study thus supports the goal of the parameters-and-principles framework, namely, there are no construction-specific rules; rather, the properties of a certain construction result from conspiracy of the principles in the universal grammar.Subjects--Topical Terms:
