English get-passives
 Tyčová, Dana ; Brůhová, Gabriela (advisor) ; Dušková, Libuše (referee)
The present thesis studies the verb get in the function of the passive auxiliary. The theoretical part describes general formal and syntactic-semantic characteristics of the verbal category of voice. Subsequently, it provides a comparative overview of the be-passive and the get- passive. The analytical part is based on a sample of 100 examples excerpted from the web corpus Araneum Anglicum Minus. The examples in the sample demonstrate verbs that are found most frequently in the get-passive. The analytical part focuses on the following aspects of the get-passive: the syntactic-semantic and semantic categories of verbs that occur in the get-passive and the semantics of the get-passive subject. This thesis provides a systematic analysis of English get-passives and hopes to contribute to a more detailed syntactic and semantic description of this construction. key words: voice, passive voice, get-passive, be-passive
