    Abstract: This paper argues that pragmatic considerations are involved in the
    selection of Malay passive types. The kena passive, which is the third Malay
    passive, occurs in limited frequency in specific contexts. These limited
    occurrences of the kena passive raise questions whether there are pragmatic
    specifications of this passive type which constrain its use.
    Although the kena passive is recognized as a type of
    Two research questions are examined in this work regarding the uses of ‘market’
    in Mandarin, Malay and English. The first question asks whether the
    use of ‘market’ in these three languages is similar or different. The second
    question asks whether the collocates of the ‘market’ are similar or different
    across these languages when used in different grammatical relations.
    Implications of the similarities and differences will be discussed. In order
    to answer these two questions, ‘market’ metaphors used by different communities
    are laid out based on the frequency counts of its source domains
    and the collocates according to different grammatical roles (subject, object,
    modifier, etc.) of ‘market.’The results show that certain source domains have
    preferences for different grammatical roles for ‘market.’ In addition to this
    finding, the choice of source domains by different speech communities may
    also reflect their perspectives regarding their country’s economy. Therefore,
    through using quantitative data, this paper is able to infer the perspectives
    of these speech communities when referring to ‘market’ in their languages.
    This can be done not only through analyzing the semantic meanings of the
    metaphors, but also through their interface with grammatical relations.
