Like an English gerund, only passive or objective?

[pauamma]

So English has gerunds, like "speaking" in "the adult speaking" or "driving" in "the man driving". It also has something like "spoken to" in "the child spoken to" and "hit" in "the pedestrian hit" (implied: "by the car", so not an active verb here). Is there a name for the latter feature of English grammar?

I think of it as a subordinate clause with the subject pronoun and connecting verb implied. "The child [who was] spoken to." "The pedestrian [who was] hit." If there's a name for that construction, I don't know what it is.

Thanks. (That looks like an unpacking or maybe a description, not a name, but it helps clarify things.)
