| The basic principle of this paper is the idea of a language as a flexible self-regulating system. The language system
is constantly changing in respect of space and time. It is characterized with a dialectical unity of the stable and
the mobile. This research is a systematic description of the category of voice in the English language and its reflection
in translations of the original literature into the Russian language. The possibility and impossibility of the usage
of passive constructions in a wide sublanguage of prose is revealed. Statistical data evaluating the functional probability
of the verbs in the passive voice in the monologue of prose for a period of four synchronous segments are
interpreted in the research. These data determine the statistical conformity of their sublanguage distribution on the
historical plane. |
