[Corpora-List] V Object into V-ing

[Mark Davies]

Chris,

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.

Feel free to contact me for more details.

Best,

Mark D.

Subject: [Corpora-List] V Object into V-ing

Hi all,

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.)

Cheers
Chris
