BEI Alternation C
Description
The Mandarin BEI construction is used to front an object in an SVO structure to a topic-like subject position so as to highlight a passive meaning of adversity, with an optional expression of the agent. To stress the adverse result or effect of an action denoted by the verb, a complement is often used to follow the verb. And this condition or quality renders some unqualified cases of BEI Alternation, as held by some linguists.
