</div>
<div>Interesting synchronicity. About a month ago I sent off to a journal a synchronically-oriented paper on this, based on about 20,000 tokens from COCA, (BYU-)BNC, and GloWbE-US and GloWbE-UK. In addition, I'm just finishing up a diachronically-oriented paper
based on another 5,600 tokens in COHA and TIME from the 1810s-1980s (supplemented by a bit of data from a 400 million word corpus from EEBO, 1500s-1600s), which I'll send off next week. Both papers are written from a Construction Grammar perspective, and are
based on data with nearly 800 (!) different matrix verbs.

<div>Feel free to contact me for more details.</div>

<div>Best,</div>

<div>Hi all,<br>
<br>
</div>
I'm interested in the [V Object into V-ing] construction, as in *You bullied me into becoming yur girlfriend* (BNC: HGM 3178). Is anybody aware of ongoing research or published papers into this? (I faintly remember seeing a paper read at one of the ICAME conferences,
but cannot remember which one.)<br>
<br>

Cheers<br>
Chris<br>
