[Corpora-List] COME and GO + ADJ

[Mark Davies]

I know I've seen some corpus-based analyses of COME and GO + ADJECTIVE, e.g.:

GO: crazy, wrong, bankrupt, postal ( = "negative")
e.g. http://corpus.byu.edu/coca/?c=coca&q=8078028

COME: clean, true, alive, clear ( = "positive")
e.g. http://corpus.byu.edu/coca/?c=coca&q=8078026

 Biber et al (1999:444-45) discusses it a bit, but I know that I've seen longer treatments of the topic, from a semantic prosody / corpus-based perspective. But in searching LLBA and Google for these today, I can't seem to find any of these articles again. Any pointers for this?

Thanks in advance,

Mark Davies
