    Zhang, Hua. “Acquiring the Passive Voice: Developmental Patterns of English Passive Constructions by Chinese EFL Learners.” Studies in English Language & Literature. 42.2 (2016): 283-303. The purpose of this study was to explore the developmental patterns of English passives with reference to learners’ proficiency. To this end, we collected data from 51 lower-level and 54 higher-level college students. A Chinese-English translation was first conducted to see how learners acquired target English passives objectively, and a difficulty evaluation was given to see whether learners’ subjective judgments were identical with their performances in translation. Three results were found. First, learners’ acquisition of English passives follows a relatively fixed order. The objective and subjective orders are statistically significant and consistent. Second, the orders can be further represented by hierarchies, which are more stable and consistent with NOH (Natural Order Hypothesis). Third, learners’ acquisition also exhibits transitional stages, in the process of which the grammaticalization of English passives gradually approximates the level of native speakers’. Based on the findings, a Natural Acquisition Stability and Variability Hypothesis is tentatively proposed, which includes a theoretically fixed natural order and an actualized variable order. These results indicate that although the acquisition order is stable, it is not strictly linear, but non-linear with unevenly paced twists and turns in the acquisition.
