My apologies ... 
I think I just sent a blank message to the list. 


Is anyone willing to explain middle passive to a middle school teacher? I wonder if it's something I see in my students' writing. 
Thanks!

This morning I discovered a study on the middle voice/middle passive. The researcher presents data showing a decline in the use of passive and a significant increase in the spread and use of the middle passive. 

Here’s the title: Hundt, Marianne. English Mediopassive Constructions : A Cognitive, Corpus-based Study of Their Origin, Spread, and Current Status. 2007
