This paper explores the changes of “get” in its word class throughout the development of English language. Supported with thorough data,it compares “get” as an auxiliary with “be” in form and in meaning. The paper points out that though any get+V ed structure can be replaced by be+V ed structure at the pure syntactic level, the get+V ed structure carries a connotation of initiative, abruptness and gradualness which be+V ed structure doesn't have.
