title: Passivization in German: A Syntax First Alignment Approach
keywords: passive, Syntax First Alignment, external arguments, werden, sein
abstract: This article introduces two German passivising constructions (Zustandspassiv and Vorgangspassiv) focusing on the distribution of the auxiliaries werden and sein. The framework I am going to adopt is Syntax First Alignment. I am going to argue that this model can also explain why the external argument can be missing in the passive voice.
