[Corpora-List] Final request for MWUs, prefabs or formulaic sequences

[John Mckenny]

Dear fellow CORPORA subscriber
I'd like to ask you to send me your estimate of prefabrication in the essay
I posted on 28 February. I gave Alison Wray's definition but would be
pleased to hear from researchers using a different model (that's why I've
used three competing terms in the subject). Those who have replied told me
it didn't take them very long to respond. After looking at the results from
you, the experts, I'll compare with results from a similar number of
advanced Portuguese learners. I'll post any  results but will also make all
the data available to people who ask for it.
Thanks
John
Ps I gave St. Patrick's Day (17/3/05) as the pencilled-in deadline but I
realize that some of you might only find time for this next weekend which
would be fine.
