Abstract:

This is the first empirical study to focus on adjectives complemented by 
'that'-clauses. The in-depth analysis of more than 50,000 cases 
taken from the British National Corpus gives comprehensive insights 
into hitherto neglected relations of lexis and grammar. The result of this 
corpus-driven study is a novel classification of adjectives based on co-
occurrence patterns and corroborated with the help of statistical means. 
The inductive analysis of corpus data offers new perspectives on and 
innovative descriptions of well-known phenomena of English grammar, 
such as extraposition or the resultative construction 'so?that'. It 
is based on a new methodological approach, which looks at mutual 
relations of both lexis and grammar in unprecedented ways.
