Hi,
I couldn't find anything useful on the internet about passivity function.
Considering the title, what is the best way to analyze (in term of function) a passive voice sentence?
Given an example:
"It needed to be heard but once there to be registered on even a little dog's brain." (Atkinson: 1997)
or
"The new kirk was of Queen Anne's day, but the old kirk was built before ever the Pilgrims set sail for America." (Atkinson: 1997)
