The passive as an auxiliary

Sigurd, Bengt LU (1994) In Acta Linguistica Hafniensia 27(1). p.447-454
Abstract
The passive is one of the most intriguing grammatical phenomena and it has been discussed in innumerable articles and books. This paper will present the approach to the passive taken in the MT-projekt Swetra focusing the translation between Swedish and English (Sigurd et al. 1992). The approach to the passive may be said to be auxiliary-oriented (cf. Sigurd, 1992) and the suggested meaning representation of the passive looks the same as the representation of an auxiliary.
