Researchers are not unanimous as to whether this statement is descriptively accurate. This paper examines various texts in Formal and Colloquial Malay, and shows that the restriction exists as a strong tendency rather than an absolute syntactic rule. The paper accounts for the restriction in terms of information structure and syntax, by claiming that di- passive agents cannot be salient/given (first and second person) because the eventuality described by a di- verb is non-salient/new. We link the low salience of di- verbs to the v-to-V movement involved in di- passives. This movement does not occur in another kind of passives, i.e. bare passives, whose agents are not subject to the person restriction. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini!
