Conversion into the passive form.
1965N. Chomsky Aspects of Theory of Syntax ii. 104 It accounts automatically for the restriction of passivization to Verbs that take Manner Adverbials freely. Ibid. 229 The sentences ‘I regard John as pompous’, ‘it struck me blind’,..are freely subject to passivization. 1968Language XLIV. 230 The syntactic motivation for this treatment comes from the fact that the verbs that can undergo passivization are restricted to those that take manner adverbials freely. 1970Ibid.

Anderson Gram. of Case ix. 132 Both ‘primary’ and ‘secondary’ passivization.., as well as the two kinds of object (‘direct’ and ‘indirect’) are allowed for in this way. 1976J. S. Gruber Lexical Struct. Syntax & Semantics i. iv. 98 The deletion of for in certain complement constructions apparently applies after passivization. |
