Dear Linguists,

I am working on a project on EFL, which is about the effect of teacher
talk(the language teacher uses in explaining the language and managing
the class) on learners' output. i.e. How does teacher's language used
in the classroom influence the students' learning and acquisition
which is shown in their output? ld you suggest anything
articles or material on the internet?

Thank you.

Hi & happy new year to all of you,

Does anyone know of corpus studies into the relative frequency of -ING, TO
and THAT complements after perception verbs in English? I'm also interested
in TO and ING passives of such verbs and their relative frequencies. For
instance, it has been noted that WATCH, contrary to, say, SEE or HEAR, does
not admit of a TO passive (*John was watched to enter the building) ; but a
very cursory search of the BNC shows that the -ING passive is extremely
rare (I only found 1 attested example so far).
Any help with references would be greatly appreciated.
