Das „gehören“-Passiv in der österreichischen Standard(schrift)sprache

<p>The form, function, and meaning of the passive construction consisting of “gehören” and a past participle unfold in a contextual reading that focuses on its deontic modality. In contrast to previous studies, the author pays special attention to data-based research of the construction using tens of thousands of examples from the Austrian Media Corpus, a print media corpus that reflects standard (written) German in Austria.

Claudia Mattes combines research on grammaticalization and corpus linguistics, with a focus on digital methods.</p>
