[Corpora-List] BE, HAVE, and DO

[CRuehlemann at aol.com]

Can anybody point me to a corpus study investigating whether the primary  
verbs BE, HAVE, and DO are used more frequently as auxiliary verbs or main 
verbs  and whether register/genre may play a role in that? (I can't seem to 
find  relevant information in corpus grammars.)
 
Thanks in advance
 
Chris
