Exceptions to the passive have received a considerable amount of attention in recent years. However, none of the proposed syntactic, semantic, or pragmatic solutions has been able to deal with the full array of recalcitrant data. In a recent article Cureton (1979) suggests dealing with exceptions to the passive in English in terms of what he calls the implied quality predication hypothesis (IQPH). Contrary to Cureton's claim, the IQPH fares no better than previous pragmantic solutions based on notions such as activity, affect, volition, and result. Moreover, Cureton's criteria, if applied with any consistency, exclude many grammatical passive clauses. The hypothesis that exceptions to the passive in English are directly related to the stative origin of this construction is shown to be false, due to the existence of similar restrictions in languages in which no such diachronic link has been attested, as well as to the presence of other restrictions in languages with passives modeled on stative adjective constructions.
