What is a passive? The case of Finnish
(2004) In Studia Linguistica 58(3). p.212-251- Abstract
- Several previous authors have argued that Finnish lacks a true passive construction, and relabel the form ''indefinite,''''impersonal'' or ''suppressive'.' In this paper, we first devise a set of criteria for passives cross-linguistically; we then present syntactic and morphological evidence to show that the Finnish construction displays all the key features we would expect from a passive.
