Abstract:

The studies in this volume approach English grammatical patterns in novel ways
by interrogating corpora, focusing on patterns in the verb phrase (tense,
aspect and modality), the noun phrase (intensification and focus marking),
complementation structures and clause combining. Some studies interrogate
historical corpora to reconstruct the diachronic development of patterns such
as light verb constructions, verb-particle combinations, the 'be a-verbing'
progressive and absolute constructions. Other studies analyse synchronic
datasets to typify the functions in discourse of, amongst others, tag
questions and it-clefts, or to elucidate some long-standing problems in the
syntactic analysis of verbal or adjectival complementation patterns, thanks to
the empirical detail only corpora can provide. The volume documents the
practices that have been developed to guarantee optimal representativeness of
corpus data, to formulate definitions of patterns that can be operationalized
in extractions, and to build dimensions of variation such as text type and
register into rich grammatical descriptions.
