La oración pasiva y el sintagma nominal: paralelismo sintáctico-semántico.

Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to characterize the syntactic and semantic parallelisms that they exist in the passive sentences and nominal phrases, both with a lexical head that proceed from transitive verbs of event (see, verb: to sink, passive sentence: The ship was sunk, nominal phrase: The sinking of the ship). The conclusions of this analysis attest that the mentioned parallelism consist in that both structures does not require the argument external position, but they allow the presence of an agentive or causal object as adjunct, and with an internal structure of prepositional phrase.
