<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 8pt;">Using the BYU corpus interface (http://corpus.byu.edu), you can easily find the frequency of phrasal verbs in the following corpora. (Note: these links are to just phrasal verbs
with <up>, but you can search by any ADV particle. Also, the results are grouped by lemma, but you can group by word as well).
<div><br>
</div>
<div>-- the 10 million words of spoken in the BNC</div>
<div><a href="http://corpus.byu.edu/bnc/?c=bnc&q=25350203" target="_blank">http://corpus.byu.edu/bnc/?c=bnc&q=25350203</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>-- the *90* million words of spoken in COCA</div>
<div><a href="http://corpus.byu.edu/coca/?c=coca&q=25350166" target="_blank">http://corpus.byu.edu/coca/?c=coca&q=25350166</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>-- the 100 million words of SOAP (US soap operas; quite informal):</div>
<div><a href="http://corpus2.byu.edu/soap/?c=soap&q=25350237" target="_blank">http://corpus2.byu.edu/soap/?c=soap&q=25350237</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You can also extract these from the freely-available n-grams from COCA (<a href="http://www.ngrams.info/" style="font-size: 8pt;">http://www.ngrams.info/</a>), for example:</div>
<div><a href="http://www.ngrams.info/coca/verb_adv.txt" target="_blank">http://www.ngrams.info/coca/verb_adv.txt</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Bottom line -- it probably doesn't make sense to limit just to the BNC (fairly small spoken corpus; now 20 years old) -- there's a lot of other material available nowadays.</div>
<div><br>

<div>Best,</div>
