John Lyons on Active/passive - Dictionary of Arguments
Lyons I 258 Active/Passive/Transformational Grammar/Chomsky/Lyons: although subject and object are reversed, identity or similarity prevails between the two corresponding sentences in the deep structure. But this is also the prerequisite that the interchange of subject and object can be determined at all. >Subject, >Object, >Deep structure, >Similarity, >Active/Passive/Chomsky. Problem: there is disagreement as to whether there is dissimilation or not. For example, assuming that the shooting of the hunters is not ambiguous. Problem: then we would still require the grammar to be a) Between the shooting of the hunters and the transitive sentence NP1 shoot the hunters as well as b) establishing relations between the hunters shooting and the intransitive the hunters shoot. >Grammar, >Syntax, >Language._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
