“…Data from aphasia and acquisition indirectly support the coercion account, showing a similar distinction to be at play, in the sense that both populations have been shown to have more problems in comprehending passives of stative than of eventive inputs. For discussion of results from aphasia, see Grodzinsky (1995) and Grillo (2008), and for additional empirical support of the event-structure based account of acquisition of passivization in Gehrke & Grillo (2009), see Crawford (2012), Estrela (2014), Snyder & Hyams (2015) and especially Volpato, Verin & Cardinaletti (2015). 3 Thus, while the distinction between stative and eventive inputs to passivization has thus far featured prominently in the acquisition literature, it seems to not have found its way into the adult processing literature.…”
