Dear Austina,<div><br></div><div>There are quite a few pieces of infrastucture (corpus, tagger, query engine, interface) to put together to get what you want: in the Sketch Engine this has all been done for you. There are tagged corpora for these languages (and plenty of others) already set up, so you can go to a corpus (here the British Academic Written English (BAWE)), type in a query (for eg ditransitive verb constructions where first NP is a pronoun)</div>
<div><div><br></div><div>"VV.*" "PP" "DET"? "JJ"* "NN"+</div><div><br></div><div>(this is a CQL query with default attribute set to 'tag', operating over the CLAWS English tagset)</div>
<div><br></div><div>and you get results that start with</div><div><table style="border-spacing:0px;font-size:11.818181991577148px;font-family:'Trebuchet MS',Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">
