The Development of the Full Passive

Horgan, Dianne

Journal of Child Language, 5, 1, 65-80, Feb 78

Spontaneous full passives and related constructions from 234 children, aged 2 to 13, and elicited passives from 262 college students were analyzed. The agentive non-reversible did not appear until after age 9; and until age 11 no child produced both reversible and non-reversible passives. (Author/SW)
