Abstract
The purpose and specificity of the passive construction with a by-phrase is considered in the focus of the topic-comment structure and functions at the level of a super-sentence. The aim of the research: text function analysis of the “long” passive in Russian, English and German, on the basis of text corpus data. The results of the analysis: 1) basic functions of the “long” passive are established; 2) anaphoric means typical of the compared languages are described; 3) a distinction in sentence models of the type Вопрос решен нами (passive) и Нами решен вопрос (semantic role structure) is revealed.
