Several weeks ago I posted a query concerning
(i)   the frequency of transitive phrasal verbs (such as 'to
pick up') in everyday English;
(ii)  publications that contain lists of verbs that can
undergo Particle Movement and/or Dative Movement;
(iii) the idiom project L.A.D.L. at the Universit de Paris
7.

First of all, my thanks for their contributions go to:
Ming-Wei Ernest Lee
Hany Babu
Chris Hogan
Bruce Fraser
Sean M. Witty
Mike Ford
Stanley Legum

In what follows, I want to briefly summarise the answers I
got.

1) Information on the frequency of transitive phrasal verbs
can be found in the:
Collins COBUILD dictionary of phrasal verbs (London:
Collins, 1989)
Suzanne Corpus
Wordnet (http://www.cogsci.princeton.edu/~wn/)
CELEX database (http://www.kun.nl/celex/)

2) Information on publications containing lists of verbs
that can undergo Dative Movement and/or Particle Movement :
I did not really get any publications of that sort. However,
I was given some references on transitive phrasal verbs in
general:
Bolinger, Dwight D.  1971.  The Phrasal Verb in English.
Cambridge: Harvard University Press
Fraser, Bruce.  1976.  The Verb-Particle Construction in
English.  New York: Academic
Legum, Stanley E.  1968.  The Verb-Particle Construction in
English, Basic or Derived?.  CLS 4

Meanwhile, I have also greatly benefitted from the 'Oxford
Dictionary of Phrasal Verbs' and the 'Cambridge
International Dictionary of Phrasal Verbs'.

I did not receive any information concerning the idiom
project at the Universit de Paris 7. I would still
appreciate any help on both the project or the email
addresses of Peter A. Machonis and Peter Freckleton.

Again, thanks a lot to those who sent me their comments and
hints.
