“An Analysis of Passive Constructions based on ARG-ST.” Studies in English Language & Literature. 39.2 (2013): 197-219. The purpose of this paper is to explain passive constructions based on ARG-ST(Argument Structure) in HPSG. Passive Lexical Rule that was set up to deal with passive constructions in Pollard & Sag(1994) was not sufficient to explain passive constructions. This paper accepted nested ARG-ST by Manning and Sag(1998) and the revised control theory suggested by Asudeh(1998). The analysis of passive constructions with ARG-ST made it possible to solve complicated sentences in which there came out passive constructions and control constructions simultaneously. However, There existed PRO in the derivational type that Manning and Sag(1998) gave as the "universal characterization" of passive. Therefore, we eventually adapted a slightly different ARG-ST that PRO could be replaced with the content object which was structure shared with a member of the non-embedded ARG-ST. This paper regarded by-phrase as an adjunct phrase. Also, in order to incorporate pseudo-passive construction, SLASH representing a gap was used to connect with the value of LOC(CAL) which could be understood as the object of preposition.
