Also, Nick Ellis, Matt O’Donnell and I are working on a study of verb-argument constructions in which we compare verb/construction co-occurrence data from the BNC with L1 and L2 speaker responses collected in free association and lexical production tasks (so not word-word associations but word-construction associations). We outline the core components of the project in Ellis, Nick C., Matthew B. O'Donnell & Ute Römer. 2013. Usage-based language: Investigating the latent structures that underpin acquisition. <i>Language Learning </i>63(Supp. 1): 25-51.
