The foregoing study reports on the discourse factors that affect the choice of the various types of transitive passivizable structures, laying special emphasis on the difference between them. The perspective adopted is a synchronic one that exploits a collection of spoken and written British English in Present-Day English (PDE) texts: the International Corpus of English in its British component (hereafter ICE-GB). First, we will clarify the concepts of monotransitive, ditransitive and complex-transitive verbs following main studies in the literatura (Biber et al. 1999, Halliday 1967-8, Huddleston and Pullum 2002). The study will continue with illustrative examples of such structures as well as percentages on their use to indicate the discur...
