| Abstract | |
In this paper, we describe the use of innovative participles in passive sentences in Brazilian Portuguese and try to find the answer for the following question: what is going on in the grammar of the innovative participles which makes them possible in the context of a passive sentence? Based on Scher, Lunguinho and Rodero-Takahira (2013), which deals with the distribution of regular and innovative participles in active and passive contexts in terms of the features [PERF] and [PASS], we show that this analysis also explains the occurrence of innovative participles in passive sentences. We reexamine their claim that innovative participles do not occur in the context of the feature [PASS] and present new data confirming the spreading up of the use of the innovative form in this environment, offering a refinement to the vocabulary items /d/ and empty set, which will account for this new data.
