Although the so-called concealed passive construction has been mentioned in several grammar books, its grammatical properties have not been explored in detail and its historical development has not been discussed either. This paper, based on historical corpus data, examines how the construction has developed since the late modern English period and how its grammatical properties have been related to those of other passive-(related) constructions such as the canonical be-passive, passival, middle, and need/want + passive VP constructions in terms of licensing verb types, (dis)-preference for agent by-phrases, animacy of the subject, and productivity of VP complement types. The findings here show 1) that need and want have been the two most representative licensing verbs for the concealed passive construction since the late modern English period and their relative power changed in the present-day English period; 2) it is also unique in that it has undergone different developmental change from the other passive-(related) constructions; 3) its development could contribute to the emergence/development of the need/want + VP passive construction.
