A Comparison of the Function of Voice in Biblical Hebrew, Chinese, and English.
Myhill, John; Xing, Zhiqun
Language Sciences, v16 n2 p253-83 Apr 1994
Presents a systematic comparison of the function of voice alterations in three genetically unrelated languages--Biblical Hebrew, Chinese, and English. It is shown that passive or passivelike function can be divided into a number of discrete functional types, each of which is associated with a certain combination of translation equivalents in the three languages.
