Abstract:

Drawing on extensive corpus-based research, this book explores the nature and
behavior of coordinate constructions in three case studies, covering order in
copulative compounds, binomials (bare phrases), and more complex phrases.
Historically, research on order in coordination has concentrated on so-called
irreversible binomials, but Lohmann's research places significant focus on
reversible ad hoc coordination and also presents a detailed comparison between
irreversible and reversible binomials. This book uses empirical analyses to
explore a wide range of factors, ranging from pragmatic to phonetic influences
on the ordering process. It also offers readers a processing perspective on
the results obtained, and puts forth a processing explanation for the
characteristics of irreversible binomials. The book is ideal for researchers
and advanced students working in English linguistics, syntax and
psycholinguistics, and due to the multifactorial methodology applied it will
be of particular interest to quantitatively minded corpus linguists.
