Les verbes supports d'adjectifs et le passif

Abstract

Maurice Gross : Passives and the support verbs for adjectives We argue that support verbs intervening in adjectivizations of verbs such as : This story annoys Bob = This story is annoying to Bob Bob can analyze the tissues = The tissues are (E + un) analyzable by Bob are similar to the auxiliary be of the Passive forms : Bob (is + remains) annoyed by this story This story remains annoying to Bob The tissues remain (E + un) analyzable by Bob By studying the combinations of modal and aspectual support verbs with passive participles, we show that the syntactic variations of Passive forms are of the same type as the variations of adjectival sentences.
